Workshop Description:

Unlocking Transcriptomic Complexity at Single-Cell Resolution with Kinnex and PacBio Long Reads

This workshop explores the power of combining Kinnex single-cell RNA-seq library preparation with PacBio Revio long-read sequencing. Discover how the Iso-Seq method enables in-depth, transcript-level profiling of individual cells, revealing differential transcript usage and providing insights into cellular heterogeneity and underlying pathology beyond gene-level analysis.

This is a Three-day hybrid remote/in-person workshop.

Day 1-2: Processing single-cell long-read data: command-line tools for demultiplexing, alignment, and generating cell-specific transcripts and counts. Day 2 includes isoform discovery and abundance estimation.

Day 3: Initial Single-cell analysis in command line and R: transcript and gene-level analysis, workflow creation/modification, and data quality assessment.

Sprinkled within will be additional talks and conversations, including experimental design, data generation, and philosophy of analysis.

Prerequisites:

This course does not provide instruction in the basics of the command line or R for bioinformatics. To get the most out of the workshop an intermediate understanding of the command line and the R statistical programming language are necessary.

All work will be performed on each individual's laptop using a small data set created specifically for the course and to complete in the time alloted.

Cancellation Policy:

Registrants are requested to be cognizant that only so many seats for a workshop may be available and should notify the Core ([email protected]) as soon as they know they are unable to attend so that we can notify and accept someone on the waitlist that a spot has become available.
