Learning outcomes

General learning outcomes

It will also cover main steps and available tools for the bioinformatics analysis of bulk ATAC-seq data, including:

This course will provide an introduction into ATAC-seq technology and its main applications to answer epigenetics related questions.

  • Recap of the steps involved in processing and aligning the raw reads
  • Quality control assessment specific to ATAC-seq
  • Peak calling, annotation and visualisation
  • Differential accessibility (DA) analysis
  • Functional enrichment analysis of DA peaks

Theoretical and practical sessions will be combined to provide broad context on ATAC-seq analysis methods as well as hands on experience using specific tools.

Learning experiences

To reach the learning outcomes we will use lectures and exercises. During exercises, you are free to discuss with other participants. During lectures, focus on the lecture only.
