RNA-Seq Data Analysis Workshop [23 - 26 October 2018, Leipzig, Germany]

Details: Veröffentlicht: Mittwoch, 23. Mai 2018 12:57

In a Nutshell:
- Learn the essential computing skills for NGS bioinformatics
- Understand NGS analysis algorithms (e.g. read alignment) and data formats
- Use bioinformatics tools for handling RNA-Seq data
- Compare different approaches for differential expression analysis

Scope and Topics:

The purpose of this workshop is to get a deeper understanding in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) with a special focus on bioinformatics issues. Advantages and disadvantages of current sequencing technologies and their implications on data analysis will be discovered. You will be trained on understanding NGS data formats and handling potential problems/errors therein.

All workshop attendees will be enabled to perform important first tasks of NGS data analysis themselves. The course layout has been adapted to the needs of beginners in the field of NGS bioinformatics and allows scientists with no or little background in computer science to get a first hands-on experience in this new and fast evolving research topic.

Biomedical Informatics Symposium [June 20, 2018]

Details: Veröffentlicht: Dienstag, 22. Mai 2018 07:21

× Connect with experts in the region

× Gain insights into latest developments in bioinformatics

× Explore regional job opportunities

Computational Analysis becomes ever more important for the advancement of personalized medicine. Bioinformatics accelerate the patient-centric molecular characterization of diseases and lead to a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms thus facilitating the development of novel drugs. Progress in Artificial Intelligence has a strong impact on clinical decision making in diagnosis and treatment. Nowadays, collection of huge amounts of data in the clinic and the lab is straight forward. However, the challenge lies within the analysis to draw the right conclusion from this big data.

This symposium gives researchers, developers and students from the fields of (bio)medicine and (bio)informatics the chance to discuss recent challenges in an interdisciplinary setting and brings together players from research and industry.

Gain insights into the role of biomedical informatics in pharmaceutical companies and get to know the latest developments in image analysis for diagnosis. Discuss methods, findings and the latest bioinformatical approaches. Connect to other researchers and entrepreneurs in the field and explore regional job opportunities.

- Understand NGS analysis algorithms (e.g. read alignment) and data formats
- Use bioinformatics tools for handling NGS data
- Perform first downstream analyses for studying genetic variation
- Compare different approaches for differential expression analysis

Scope and Topics:

The purpose of this intense one week summer course is to get a deep understanding in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) with a special focus on bioinformatics issues. Advantages and disadvantages of current sequencing technologies and their implications on data analysis will be discovered. You will be trained on understanding NGS data formats and handling potential problems/errors therein. In the summer school we will use a real-life RNA-seq dataset from the current market leader illumina.

All students will be enabled to perform important first tasks of NGS data analysis themselves. The layout of the summer school has been adapted to the needs of beginners in the field of NGS bioinformatics and allows scientists with no or little background in computer science to get a first hands-on experience in this new and fast evolving research topic.

In the evenings there will be social events, like a conference dinner, or a guided city tour through Berlin. These are always great networking possibilities.
