If you are interested in receiving more information please register your interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Course overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This course will teach biological researchers how to analyse biological data sets using open-source software.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this course, AI is primarily used to support beginners in writing R scripts. Before attending the course, beginners can become familiar with AI-based programming assistance through a micro-credential course (MOOC) developed by the course organisers. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.edvance.it\/edvance\/app\/courseDetails\/591&amp;source=gmail-imap&amp;ust=1770713035000000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3r_uGvrOf1B867gjm4XHhL\">https:\/\/www.edvance.it\/edvance\/app\/courseDetails\/591<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course provides an introduction to the fundamental approaches for analyzing bulk RNAseq, single-cell RNAseq, and single-cell multi-omics scRNAseq\/ATACseq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the analysis will be performed with docker4seq and rCASC packages, which were developed to facilitate the use of computing demanding applications in the field of NGS data analysis. Docker4seq and rCASC packages use docker containers that embed demanding computing tasks (e.g. short reads mapping) into isolated containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach provides multiple advantages: the user does not need to install all the software on its local server, the results generated by different containers can be organised in pipelines, and reproducible research is guarantee by the possibility of sharing the docker images used for the analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Computers for hands-on exercises will be provided along with demo data sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This course was developed for biological researchers as the intended audience. Basic knowledge of massively parallel sequencing (MPS) is desirable, however R-coding skills and deep knowledge of statistics are not necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What past participants say about the course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI came with high expectations and they were fully met.
