RNA-Seq Analysis | PR Statistics Master RNA-Seq data analysis with this comprehensive live online course. Across four days, participants will learn how to design RNA-Seq experiments, process raw sequencing data, perform quality control, align reads, and quantify gene expression. The course covers advanced statistical techniques including PCA, DESeq2-based differential expression analysis, and functional enrichment methods such as FGSEA. Practical sessions will guide you through real-world workflows, helping you avoid common pitfalls while building confidence in analysing transcriptomic datasets. Taught by Dr. Frances Turner, an experienced bioinformatician at the University of Edinburgh, this course is designed for academics, postgraduate students, and professionals working with bulk RNA-Seq data in research, biotech, or applied life sciences. Participants should have basic R, RStudio, and Linux experience and a grounding in transcriptomics and molecular biology. All sessions include hands-on practice, expert guidance, and follow-up support, with recordings provided for flexible learning.

Join the RNA-Seq Analysis online course to unlock transcriptome data insights. Learn about experiment design, QC, DESeq2, and more. Only 8 spots left! Register at https://prstats.org/course/rna-seq-analysis-rnaa01/ #course
