Overview

This hands-on course introduces the participants to single cell RNA-seq data analysis concepts and popular tools and R packages. It covers the preprocessing steps from raw sequence reads to expression matrix as well as clustering, cell type identification, differential expression analysis and pseudotime analysis. Please note that you are most welcome to attend also the Single cell transcriptomics symposium in Biomedicum Helsinki 20.9.2018.

The course is kindly sponsored by the ELIXIR EXCELERATE project and the University of Helsinki Doctoral Programme in Biomedicine (DPBM).
