Genomics & Transcriptomics Workshop

Genomics and transcriptomics workshop — full pipeline from QC and alignment to variant calling and RNA-seq differential expression in a hands-on format.

What is the Genomics & Transcriptomics Workshop?

This workshop walks you through the full genomics and transcriptomics pipeline — quality control, alignment, variant calling, and RNA-seq differential expression — using the same tools production bioinformatics teams rely on every day.

What you will do

QC raw reads with FastQC and trim with Trim Galore / fastp
Align DNA reads using BWA / Bowtie2 and RNA reads using HISAT2 / STAR
Call variants with GATK / bcftools and apply standard filtering
Quantify RNA-seq counts with featureCounts or Salmon
Run differential expression analysis with DESeq2
Interpret results biologically and produce summary visualisations

Who this is for

Students from bioinformatics, biotechnology, genetics, life sciences, and computational biology. Strong base coursework in molecular biology helps; comfort with the command line accelerates everything but is not required.

What you take away

NTHRYS workshop completion certificate
A reproducible mini-pipeline run on real data
Hands-on familiarity with industry-standard NGS tools
A precise profile for genomics, bioinformatics, and computational biology roles
