This class is geared towards people who have little to no Linux/command-line experience. We will NOT teach you everything you would learn in a 4-year bioinformatics degree. We will teach you basic commands you need to analyze RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, and single-cell RNA-seq and, we will teach you how to find help when analyzing data.
-
You will need to bring a laptop to class.
-
You should NOT register if you cannot attend EVERY class. If you wish to attend, you must register for an Eventbrite ticket: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2021-dna-lab-short-read-anaysis-workshop-tickets-156734887267?aff=ebdsoporgprofile

The class is open to anyone (regardless of where they are employed). However, because of COVID policy, only 40 people may attend this year. Therefore, we reserve the right to limit the number of people per lab if we reach maximum capacity. If we must limit attendees, we will contact both the PI and researchers via email. The PI will make the final decision on which lab members will attend.
