1-hour presentation followed by 30 minutes of discussion

Goals of this webinar:

The use of high throughput short read RNA sequencing has become common place in many scientific laboratories. The analysis tools for quantitating a transcriptome have matured becoming relatively simple to use. The goals of this webinar are:

• To give a general overview of the popular Illumina technology for sequencing RNA.
• To outline several of the key aspects to consider when designing an RNA-Seq study
• To provide guidance on methods and tools for transforming reads to quantitative expression measurements.
• To describe statistical models that are typically used for differential expression and why these specialized models are needed.
