Computational Genomics: Training

Genomics data analysis short course

The IGB Computational Genomics, in collaboration with HPCBio, will be piloting a four-session short course in genomics data analysis. The goal is to provide a conceptual framework for how to learn bioinformatics. This framework will be illustrated with bulk and single-cell RNA-seq analyses using the R programming language. The course will assume knowledge at the level of the HPCBio workshops. Email cg@igb.illinois.edu to attend.

The course will meet on the following Mondays from 12:00 - 1:00 pm CT. Preliminary syllabus:
