Precourse preparations
Required competences
Participants should already have a basic knowledge in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques, or have already followed the course NGS - Quality control, Alignment, Visualisation. Knowledge in RNA sequencing is a plus. A basic knowledge of the R statistical software is required. Test your R skills with the quiz here, before registering.
Software
If working independently
If you are not enrolled to the course (i.e. doing it in your own time), you can either choose to install the packages locally, or use docker. See setup for more details.
Attendees should have a Wi-Fi enabled computer. An online R and RStudio environment will be provided. However, in case you wish to perform the practical exercises on your own computer, please take a moment to install the following before the course:
- R version > 4.0.
- Latest RStudio version, the free version is perfectly fine.
- The R packages necessary for the course. Find the script to install them here.
