Innovation & creativity is an integral part of the BDG Lifesciences and we always launch new programs on the newest topics. We have launched our 7-day Online Technical Training and hands-on Workshop on Next Generation Sequencing | RNASeq Analysis on Windows, Linux & Mac OS. It will be an extensive 7-day training program in which every day 60 minutes interactive training sessions will be conducted to give the user a unique learning experience. VIDEO RECORDING WILL BE PROVIDED. On successful completion of the course participation certificate will be awarded.

As it is 100% hands-on training program participants will run the processes on their own computer systems having Windows/ Mac/ Linux with a unique learning experience. The program will be of great help to students/ researchers/ faculty/ pathologists/ scientists in learning this latest technology to analyze the RNA Sequencing Data.

WHY THIS COURSE IS IMPORTANT?

This course provides essential knowledge and hands-on skills for mastering bioinformatics workflows, specifically in the context of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data analysis. With the rise of high-throughput technologies, the ability to process, analyze, and interpret large datasets is becoming crucial in biological research. Mastering command-line tools, scripting, and NGS techniques empowers researchers to handle vast amounts of genomic data more efficiently. RNA-Seq (RNA sequencing) is a powerful tool for transcriptome analysis, enabling researchers to study gene expression patterns across different tissues, conditions, or time points. By sequencing the total RNA from a sample, RNA-Seq provides a comprehensive view of the transcriptome, allowing for the quantification of gene expression, the identification of novel transcripts, and the detection of alternative splicing events.

Research Highlights using RNA-Seq Analysis

• Gene expression patterns
• Identify genes that are significantly upregulated or downregulated in response to a specific condition
• Identification of novel transcripts
• Gene Regulation

SCHEDULE

SYSTEM REQUIREMENT: Any OS (Windows/Mac/Ubuntu) with internet connection
