Massively parallel RNA sequencing, commonly known as RNA-Seq, provides a more detailed picture of transcriptomes compared to microarray profiling. As Next-Generation Sequencing technologies are becoming faster and less expensive, RNA-Seq is now the primary assay of choice for researchers investigating the abundance and diversity of RNA transcripts. Analysis of the large-scale data sets generated by a typical RNA-Seq experiment is challenging as it demands access to powerful computers and researcher training to run sophisticated bioinformatics software packages.

This hands-on workshop is an introduction to RNA-Seq analysis using the library-licensed CLC Genomics Workbench. Participants will learn how to:

  • import reads from an NCBI GEO dataset (GSE52778)
  • align RNA-Seq data to a reference genome
  • calculate known genes and transcript expressions
  • perform differential expression analysis
