[Bioinformatics Lunch Series] Key Considerations for NGS Experimental Design, April 18 2018

The USC Libraries Bioinformatics Service is pleased to present a four-workshop series on next generation sequencing (NGS) studies, addressing key issues from experiment design to functional interpretation of NGS results. 

NGS Workshop #1-- “Key Considerations for NGS Experimental Design” 

With a primary focus on RNA-Seq experiments, this workshop covers the following topics:
• Proper number of replicates
• Optimal sequencing depth
• Appropriate read type and length
• Quick points on designing single-cell RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, and DNA-Seq experiments
• Find the right sequencing service providers

Time                Noon - 1 pm, Wednesday, April 18th
Locations
1. Health Science Campus
West Conference Room, Norris Medical Library
2. University Park Campus (via livestreaming)
Learning Center, Wilson Dental Library (DEN21)

Lunch will be provided at both locations.  Link to the livestreaming for private viewing is also available.  

Sign up is mandatory: https://uschsl.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dd3QgL4sXu5pyYd

Stay tuned for the announcement of upcoming NGS study workshops:
#2 (May 4th)—Analyzing RNA-Seq data with Partek Flow
#3 (May 15th)—Making sense of RNA-Seq data Part 1—Downstream effect analysis (pathways, diseases etc.)
#4 (June 7th)—Making sense of RNA-Seq data Part 2—Upstream regulation analysis (transcription factors etc.)
This workshop is part of the ongoing Bioinformatics Lunch Series, funded by USC Libraries Dean’s Challenge Grant.
