Introduction to RNA-Seq
Studying the transcriptome.
RNA-Seq allows to study the transcriptoe of organisms. Several applications of RNA-Seq include measuring expression levels of genes, gene annotation or the interrogation of the gene space as a complexity. This course teaches to process RNA Seq data from receiving raw sequence files to getting expression values for genes.
Instructors
