<pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) allows researchers to study gene expression at the single cell level. For example, scRNAseq can help to identify expression patterns that differ between conditions within a cell-type. To generate and analyze scRNAseq data, several methods are available, all with their strengths and weaknesses depending on the researchers’ needs.<o:p></o:p></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">This 3-day course will cover the main technologies as well as the main aspects to consider while designing a scRNAseq experiment. In addition, it will cover the theoretical background of analysis methods with hands-on practical data analysis sessions applied to droplet-based methods. <o:p></o:p></span></pre>
