Introduction to RNA-Seq Pipelines and Computational Analysis – 2020 Workshop

The Genomics Core Leuven organizes on September 29th, 2020 a mini workshop around RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to introduce scientists, young researchers and doctoral students the rudiments of RNA-Seq technology that will allow to perform analysis on the Flemish Super Computer (VSC). No previous knowledge of sequencing, RNA-Seq or Linux is necessary.
