Today's tutorials will occur along four tracks running concurrently, each devoted to computational methods associated with different research domain. Each tab below corresponds to one of the tracks. The tutorials associated with each track are listed on the relevant tab.
Python Best Practices and Exploratory Data Analysis | 9:30 - 12:30 EDT *Hybrid*
An introduction to EDA of tabular data covering techniques of data loading, inspection, cleaning and pre-processing. This session will provide an overview of data validity considerations, how to inspect data using statistics and visualizations, and methods of correcting common data issues.
Introduction to Single Cell RNA-seq with Seurat | 11:00 - 12:30 EDT *Hybrid*
We will cover the standard Seurat pre-processing pipeline for single cell RNA-seq. We will discuss working with Seurat objects, data QC and filtering, normalization, merging and integrating multiple data sets, data vizualisation, and differential expression testing.
Annotation Resources for Downstream Analyses using Bioconductor | 1:30 - 3:00 EDT *Hybrid*
This session is devoted to annotation resources and downstream analyses of NGS data using R and Bioconductor. We will cover different annotation file formats, public resources for annotation data, and leveraging those resources for downstream analyses in R.
