Quick Introduction to the Workshop and Core

The mission of the Bioinformatics Core facility is to facilitate outstanding omics-scale research through these activities:

Staff

Contacts

• Bioinformatics related questions, include but not limited to bioinformatic methods questions, software use, data questions.
  • Bioinformatics.core@ucdavis.edu
• Computing Issues, include but not limited to user account questions, equipment failure/malfunction, software install, software failures (not related to use)
  • helpdesk@genomecenter.ucdavis.edu
• Training courses information
  • training.bioinformatics@ucdavis.edu

Workshop Goals

• End to End understanding of RNAseq differential
  • Discussions/lectures
  • Technologies
  • Experimental design
  • Cost estimation
  • Workflow
  • mRNA gene expression analysis
• To work through a complete experiment, starting from raw data to completion, including making a few figures.
• Goal is 30-40% lecture/discussion 60-70% hands-on

Internet

You will need to access the UCD wireless via your laptop to participate in the hands-on exercises.

Eduroam

Many academic institutions are part of Eduroam. (See “List of Institutions” under “Members” at https://www.eduroam.us/ to find out if your institution is a member.) Please make sure you can log into Eduroam with your device at your home institution, which will make things easier once you come to UCD.

UCD Guest wireless

You will need to access the UCD wireless via your laptop to participate in the hands-on exercises. Please review http://itcatalog.ucdavis.edu/service/wireless-guest-access for access instructions.
