scRNA-seq workshop EOI

MIG is organising a workshop on single cell RNA-seq analysis. The workshop is planned for October 2 & 3, 2019 in Melbourne, Australia.

In this course we will discuss some of the questions that can be addressed using scRNA-seq as well as the available computational and statistical methods. We will cover key features of the technology platforms and fundamental principles of scRNA-seq data analysis that are transferable across technologies and analysis workflows. The number of computational tools is already vast and increasing rapidly, so we provide hands-on workflows using some of our favourite tools on carefully selected, biologically-relevant example datasets.

Across two days, attendees can expect to gain an understanding of approaches to and practical analysis experience on: quality control, data normalisation, visualisation, clustering, trajectory (pseudotime) inference, differential expression, batch correction and data integration.

This survey will help us to tailor the workshop to your needs.

We will contact you once the EOI has been received and send you a link for registration.

Registration fees:

RHD Student - $300
UoM & affiliate Staff - $400
Research NFP - $600
Industry/Government - $800

Many thanks,
Davis McCarthy

Question Title

* 2. Which of these categories best describes your current status?

Full-time RHD student (Masters/PhD)

Postdoctoral researcher

Research staff member

Lecturer/Lab head/Principle Investigator (Academic staff)

Other (please specify)

Question Title

* 3. How would you describe your statistical knowledge

Basic

Average (no formal training, I perform ad-hoc statistical analyses)

Advanced / Experienced (I have had training as a statistician)

Question Title

* 4. How would you describe your R programming skills?

I have never programmed in R

Beginner: I know how to read data, what is an R data frame and a factor, and I can copy/paste and run a command line in RStudio

Average: I know how to use basic functions in R, go through the help files and change an argument in a function if necessary

Advanced: I know how to write R functions, debug my R code and my neighbours code

If you have other programming skills please specify the language here (e.g. Python, Julia, Perl, Matlab, etc.):

Question Title

* 5. How much experience do you have analysing single-cell RNA-seq data?

None: I'm just getting into it

Orthogonal: I haven't analysed scRNA-seq, but I do have experience with bulk RNA-seq analysis

Some: I've done a handful of analyses using public or in-house single-cell data

Considerable: I've completed several projects involving scRNA-seq analysis

Question Title

* 6. What type of biological questions are you planning to address in your analyses? [Please tick all that apply]

Cell-type heterogeneity in tissues (e.g. clustering)

Changes across cell development (trajectory/pseudotime inference)

Differences between biological or experimental conditions (differential expression)

Integrating scRNA-seq data with other -omic data (single-cell or bulk)

Other (please specify)

Question Title

* 7. Would you like to do an analysis of your own data in a "masterclass" format in a final session?

Yes, I would love to, keen to present

Yes, I would like to do that, but I don't yet have data ready for open discussion

I'd like feedback on my analysis (one-on-one)

I would contribute to the masterclass, but not present my own data

Not sure yet

No interest in this at all
