Description:
This hands-on workshop will instruct participants on how to design a single-cell RNA-seq experiment, and how to efficiently manage and analyze the data starting from count matrices. This will be a hands-on workshop in which we will focus on using the Seurat package in R.
Prerequisites:
This is one of our advanced workshops, and requires registrants to have attended the following Basic workshop offered by our training team in the last 6-8 months:
There is an expectation of participants to have some/all of the following programming knowledge:
- Solid understanding of data structures and fluent implementation of basic syntax in R.
- Ability to use functions regularly and can modify arguments when necessary.
- Comfortable installing packages and troubleshooting issues.
- Data wrangling expertise (subsetting vectors and data frames) using base R or tidyverse
- Familiarity with ggplot2 for data visualization.
I am fluent in R but have not attended the HBC prerequisite workshop, can I still register?
Yes, please register and provide your R/programming exerience on the form, and we’ll get back to you.
