Workshop on the analysis and integration of scRNA-seq datasets
Purpose: In this workshop, in session 1 we will give an overview of scRNA-seq data analysis steps such as quality control, preprocessing, normalization, cell annotation. Then we will move to the task of integrating multiple scRNA-seq datasets where we first show variations caused by batch effects or variations caused by biological factors. We will give an overview of existing scRNA-seq integration methods and provide an evaluation where we explain their advantages/disadvantages thoroughly. In session 2, for a few selected integration methods, we will provide a hands-on application to show how multiple scRNA-seq datasets can be integrated.
Selection Criteria: WG 1 or 2 members: Expertise in bioinformatics and/or OMICS data sets, preferentially with a focus on single-cell RNA-seq data analysis. Familiarity with R or Python is required.
Requirements:
- Availability on March 23th, from 10 AM till 5 PM.
- Own notebook to download and run the required software
Expected Outcome: Publication of the course material on Github for future references.
