[Socbin] PhD summer school on RNA sequencing data, bioinformatics, and RNA drugs on August 20-24, 2012, Copenhagen

[Henriette Husum Bak-Jensen]

Course objectives: This course provides a one-week hands-on introduction
to the analysis of sequencing data, RNA structure prediction, and
microRNA target analysis.

Major topics covered: parallel sequencing technologies, microRNA Biology
and -targeting, protein-RNA interactions, RNA structure and antisense
oligonucleotide drugs.  

Requirements: PhD students and postdocs in molecular biology research
with an interest to learn about bioinformatics, should apply. All
hands-on exercises are designed to give researchers without prior
programming experience or bioinformatics training, to do fairly advanced
analysis of the different kinds of data using existing and freely
available online tools.

Course format: The topics will be introduced in lectures and mixed with
presentations of frontline research. Importantly, the course program
includes hands-on computational exercises that will provide the skills
and tools necessary for the participants to analyse sequencing data,
including RNA-seq, PAR-CLIP-seq, CAGE and small RNA sequencing, plus do
RNA Bioinformatics including RNA structure prediction and microRNA
target analysis. The course will finish by a symposium  entitled 'The
Trancriptome' with on-topic presentations from distinguished
international lecturers.

Evaluation: Participants who have participated actively in all parts of
the course and completed all exercises satisfactorily will be awarded a
certificate of completion at the end of the course. The work load
corresponds to 5 ECTS points. Note that this workload includes one week
of preparation (1-2 articles/notes for each lecture, that should be read
in advance). 

Venue: University of Copenhagen, Section for Bioinformatics, Ole
Maaloesvej 5, Copenhagen.
