Semester:
Offered:
Single-cell sequencing technologies allow us to study genomes and transcriptomes at the single cell level. These relatively new techniques have expanded our knowledge in a wide range of fields from microbiology to development and cancer biology. This course will provide a general introduction to both RNA and DNA-based single-cell sequencing. We will start with a broad overview of RNA-sequencing in single cells with an emphasis on current and emerging technologies. Subsequent lectures will focus on experimental design for single-cell experiments and common approaches to data analysis.
Class Assignments
Registered participants will use the technologies, experimental design, and analysis methods presented in Session 1 to design a single-cell sequencing experiment. They will write a one-page specific aims proposal and give a 5-minute presentation of the experiment.
