HGSS x MiCM Transcriptomics Bootcamp

Date: December 1st

Time: Reception starts at 8:00 am听

Location: McIntyre Medical Building, Room 521 (The Jonathan C. Meakins Amphitheatre).

Registration fee: $11 CAD + taxes

Refreshments and boxed lunch will be provided for all registered atendees.听

Registration is now closed


The MiCM will be collaborating with the Human Genetics Student Society to host a听full-day in-person听event to boost your bioinformatic skills and improve your understanding of transcriptomic data analysis. We will kickstart the day with a discussion panel between the workshop instructors to answer some of the most pressing questions in the field.

The event will close with a Keynote talk from Prof. Hamed Najafabadi from the 听迟颈迟濒别诲听

"Using transcriptomics to understand the gene regulatory basis of human diseases"

Based on their level of experience in bioinformatics, atendees can choose one of two workshop tracks:

  • Beginner stream that will introduce attendees to the basics of bulk and single cell RNA-seq data analysis.听
  • Advanced stream with workshops on听long read RNA-seq data analysis and advanced topics in听single cell transcriptomics. Atendees will have the opportunity to tests the acquired skills on their own dataset during the final听听"bring your own data" session.听

The keynote talk will be open to all 捆绑SM社区 students at no cost.听
