Single Cell RNA-Seq Data Analysis
Date: 24 - 26 February 2025
Single cell RNA-Seq offers many advantages over bulk RNA-Seq, but the richer data produced requires a more complex analysis. In this course we will learn about the advantages of single cell sequencing, and when it may be an appropriate choice, how to perform common types of data analysis, and to spot and deal with potential problems. We will analyse 10X genomics data with the R package Seurat.
Keywords: Gene expression, RNA, RNAseq, Single cell, Transcriptomics
Prerequisites:
- A general understanding of molecular biology and genomics
- A working knowledge of Linux at the level of the Edinburgh Genomics Linux for Genomics workshop
- A working knowledge of R at the level of Edinburgh Genomics R for Biologists workshop.
Learning objectives:
- Clustering and visualisation
- Functional analysis of differentially expressed genes
- Identification of cell types in our data
- Identification of genes differentially expressed between samples
- Identification of marker genes and visualisation of marker genes
- Integration of multiple samples
- Interactive data analysis with Trailmaker
- Normalisation and dimension reduction of data
- Processing of fastq files, quality control and data filtering
- Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of single cell RNA-seq
Organizer: Edinburgh Genomics
Target audience: Graduates, postgraduates, and PIs, who are using, or planning to use, single cell RNA-seq technology in their research and want to learn how to process and analyse single cell RNA-seq data.
