Learn how to install Bioinformatics tools using Conda environment on Unix.
Learn how to organise the files and folders before performing data processing.
Learn how to obtain the raw data from publicly available databases and download them on to your system. This also contains downloadable material to kick start your RNAseq analysis
Learn how to obtain the Genome files such as the FASTA and annotation files from publicly available databases.
Learn how to perform Quality Control (QC) analysis on Single-End (SE) and Paired-End (PE) Fastq reads files.
Learn how to perform Adapter and Quality trimming using Trimmomatic tool.
In this lecture, you will learn to perform QC analysis on the trimmed reads using FastQC
Learn how to index the genome using STAR and how to use them for read mapping step.
Learn how to perform read mapping using STAR tool and how to input the genome files and change the parameters for mapping.
Learn how to mark duplicate reads using Picard tool and how to use the marked duplicates BAM files as output for further steps.
Learn how to print alignment statistics for the BAM files using Bamtools. I will also teach how to aggregate the alignment statistics into one summary statistics file.
In this course, you will learn how to perform RNAseq data analysis via linux command line. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to RNAseq data analysis, covering the key concepts and tools needed to perform differential expression analysis and functional annotation of RNAseq data. Students will learn how to preprocess raw sequencing data, perform quality control, and align reads to a reference genome or transcriptome. The course will also cover differential expression analysis using statistical methods and visualisation of results using popular tools such as R. You will learn how to do end-to-end RNAseq data analysis which includes pre-processing of RNAseq data, Quality Control analysis, Differential Gene Expression analysis, Clustering and Principal Component Analysis of the gene expression data. You will also learn how to download data, install the bioinformatics/IT softwares using Conda/Anaconda on Mac, Windows or Linux platforms. I will guide you through performing differential expression analysis on RStudio (graphical user interface for R language).
Throughout the course, students will work with real-world datasets and gain hands-on experience with popular bioinformatics tools and software packages. By the end of the course, students will have a thorough understanding of RNAseq data analysis and will be able to perform their own analyses of gene expression data. This course is ideal for researchers, scientists, and students who are interested in understanding the molecular basis of gene expression and exploring the potential applications of RNAseq technology. No prior bioinformatics or programming experience is required, but a basic knowledge of molecular biology and genetics is recommended.
