Introduction to Galaxy Australia: RNA-seq (University of Adelaide)

INTRODUCTION GALAXY AUSTRALIA: DIFFERENTIAL GENE EXPRESSION FROM BACTERIAL RNA-SEQ DATA THIS WORKSHOP WILL INTRODUCE ATTENDEES TO GALAXY AUSTRALIA AND ITS USE IN RNA-SEQ AND DIFFERENTIAL GENE EXPRESSION (USING BACTERIAL DATA). A TALK AND DEMONSTRATION WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A HANDS-ON TUTORIAL. THE WORKSHOP HAS BEEN ORGANISED BY THE BIOSCIENCES DATA ENHANCED VIRTUAL LAB (DEVL) GALAXY AUSTRALIA PROJECT AND EMBL-ABR AND WILL BE LED BY DR ANNA SYME FROM MELBOURNE BIOINFORMATICS, WHO IS COORDINATING TRAINING FOR GALAXY AUSTRALIA. ANNA WILL LEAD THE WORKSHOP FROM MELBOURNE, WITH TRAINED FACILITATORS ON HAND AT VENUES ACROSS AUSTRALIA TO ASSIST PARTICIPANTS LOCALLY. INTENDED AUDIENCE Researchers and students with an interest in RNA-seq and differential gene expression. Knowledge of basic biology is assumed. LEARNING OUTCOMES By the end of this training, participants will be able to use tools in Galaxy Australia to investigate differential gene expression from bacterial RNA-seq data. TOPICS TO BE COVERED _Galaxy Australia_ * Log in. _RNA-seq_ * What is it? * How can we use Galaxy Australia and RNA-seq data to investigate differential gene expression in bacteria? _Visualising results_ * We will use the web tool Degust [http://degust.erc.monash.edu/] to visualise our results. WHAT TO BRING You will use the computer available at the venue. If you would prefer to bring along your own laptop, you will need to use your personal login to the university WIFI, and have an up to date web browser installed (Chrome or Firefox are fine). _THIS WORKSHOP IS PART OF A SERIES OF GALAXY AUSTRALIA [http://www.embl-abr.org.au/about/events/] EVENTS.
