Bioinformatics and Genomics unit @ Molecular Biotecnology Center, Torino (Italy) is pleased to announce the 3rd edition of the Introductory hands-on course on RNAseq (25-27 March 2014). This course is organized by B&Gu <http: www.bioinformatica.unito.it=""/> with guest speakers from Illumina <http: www.illumina.com=""/>and Singapore Immunology Network <http: www.bioinformatica.unito.it="" %28http:="" www.sign.a-star.edu.sg="" i="" ndex.php?option="com_research&amp;task=pi_details_profile&amp;pi_id=28&amp;Itemid=7" 1%29="">. The course is suitable for biologists who are new to RNA-seq technology. Additionally, if you have analyzed gene expression data from microarrays and would now like to do projects using RNA-seq technology, then this workshop will enable you to gather information on the critical issue on RNA-seq from sample prep to data analysis. The course is based on the use of Bioconductor <http: www.bioconductor.org=""> open-source software. However, R <http: www.r-project.org=""> coding skill is not required since all the analyses are done using oneChannelGUI <http: bioconductor.org="" packages="" release="" bioc="" html="" onechannelgui.html="">, a graphical interface to Bioconductor tools, designed for life scientists who are not familiar with R language. Knowledge of statistics is not necessary prior to attending the course. Further course information, agenda and logistics can be found in the course booklet <http: www.bioinformatica.unito.it="" rnaseq.pdf="">.
