From R to RNA-seq: A Practical Two-Day Bioinformatics Workshop for Beginners
Trainers:
- Miodrag Dragoj, Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković”, University of Belgrade, Serbia
- Pavle Erić, Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković”, University of Belgrade, Serbia
- Mirjana Novković, Institute of Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering, University of Belgrade, Serbia
- Ana Sarić, Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković”, University of Belgrade, Serbia
This two-day hands-on workshop provides a comprehensive introduction to R programming and its application in RNA-seq data analysis. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to run a complete RNA-seq analysis pipeline, from raw count matrices to biological interpretation.
No prior programming experience is required.
On Day 1, participants will learn the basics of R programming and RStudio, including data structures, data manipulation, and visualization using the Tidyverse packages dplyr and ggplot2.
On Day 2, participants will apply these skills to RNA-seq data from human cancer cell lines. The session will cover Bioconductor, differential gene expression analysis using DESeq2, visualization of results, and functional enrichment analysis with clusterProfiler.
Materials:
Quarto HTML workbooks will be provided for each session
Target audience:
Biologists and life scientists with little or no programming background who want to analyze their own transcriptomic data.
- Day 1: 6 June 2026 10:00 – 16:00 Introduction to R
