Summary

In this workshop, we will begin with a discussion of some of the key considerations for proper NGS experimental design and data collection, including the appropriate number of replicates, optimal sequencing depth, read types and lengths, and other quick points. We will then live-demo an end-to-end workflow for bulk and single-cell RNAseq data analysis using Partek Flow, an easy-to-use data analysis software that USC has subscribed to, as well as the functional analysis of differentially expressed gene lists using our licensed Ingenuity Pathways Analysis software. We conclude with a summary of university-wide access to bioinformatics computing for NGS data analysis, including other software such as CLC Genomics Workbench, Galaxy, and open source packages.
