Abstract
RNAseq is a recent method developed for next-generation sequencing platforms. RNASeq projects cover a wide range of experiments including differential gene expression, differential splicing, identification of new transcripts/ alternative isoforms, miRNAs, methylation, ChIP-Seq and allele-specific expression. Both experimental methods and statistical tools will be presented and discussed as well as practical examples of different types of the analysis.
Speaker Biography
Dr. Alexander Kanapin, graduate of Moscow University, Russia. PhD in bioinformatics (mobile genetic elements proteins structure analysis). Major projects: InterPro integrated resource of protein functional domains and sites at EBI (key database developer and production manager); major sequencing projects participation human genome, FANTOM (mouse transcriptome). Since 2008 works with Next-Gen sequencing analysis at CSHL, OICR, now at University of Oxford.
