HBC Current Topics in Bioinformatics Series – 10/23
We are excited to announce a special speaker as part of the Harvard Chan Bioinformatics Core (HBC) 2024 series Current Topics in Bioinformatics .
Please join us online on October 23rd 2024 from 1-3pm as we collaborate with the DFCI Department of Data Science to bring you a training session on single cell analysis.
Introduction to scRNA-seq and data pre-processing
Presenter: Jeremy M. Simon, Ph.D.
There are many useful applications of single-cell or single-nucleus RNA-seq technologies to better understand cancer biology. In this introductory workshop, we will discuss some of the advantages of adopting single-cell approaches, frequently utilized technologies/platforms, best practices for experimental design, and provide an overview of algorithms used for data preprocessing. We will then provide an interactive demonstration of single-cell/single-nucleus RNA-seq data preprocessing with alevin-fry, resulting in a counts matrix ready for downstream analysis. **This workshop assumes some level of R and Shell knowledge**.
