microRNA Analysis Using High-Throughput Sequencing - From microRNA prediction to extensive downstream analyses

When?
October 13th - 14th 2014

Where?
Leipzig, Germany


Scope and Topics
The purpose of this workshop is to obtain a thorough understanding on the expression profiling of known microRNAs and the prediction of novel microRNA genes using high-throughput sequencing technologies (HTS). The participants will be trained to understand both, the data analysis aspects of HTS technologies and the functional implications of small RNAs. Downstream analysis to infer the functional implication of the detected microRNAs will be discussed including target prediction/detection and functional analysis. After this workshop, the participants will be able to perform their own microRNA analysis using up-to-date methods and extract scientific valuable findings.

By the end of this workshop the participants will:

• be familiar with the method of small RNA-Seq
• be aware of the mapping problem of very short reads
• understand common data formats and standards
• know relevant tools for small RNA-Seq data processing
• perform microRNA gene prediction and downstream analyses (target prediction, functional analysis, etc.)
• plot and visualize results
• be able to analyse small RNA-seq data
