From June 1-5, 2026, theÌý,Ìýin partnership withÌýÌýand theÌý), and the will host anÌýRNA-seq Bootcamp.

This five-module bootcamp is designed to guide participants from foundational command-line navigation to the execution of advanced, reproducible bioinformatics workflows for RNA-seq analyses. The program begins by establishing essential UNIX skills and data retrieval methods before progressing through experimental design and core preprocessing pipelines, including quality control, read alignment, and read quantification.

Participants will then be introduced to differential gene expression (DGE) analyses, learning to apply appropriate statistical models and handle complex, multi-factor experimental designs via DESeq2 and explore functional enrichment methodologies (ORA and GSEA). Finally, attendees will learn how to deploy standardized pipelines (Nextflow and GenPipes) on High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments using SLURM schedulers, concluding with a dedicated troubleshooting session to support independent research applications.
