A comparative-transcriptomics workshop covering analysis environments, sequence resources, quantification, differential expression, phylogeny, and optional synteny analysis.
Workshop outline
- Linux command (bash)/RStudio (R)/Jupyter Notebook (Python)/Evernote (Markdown) Using ChatGPT to write/explain code Github Copilot
- Databases: NCBI (USA) /Ensembl (Europe)/ Darwin Tree of Life (UK)
- RNA-seq quantification: Mapping and quasi-mapping BLAST/DIAMOND (mapping) Salmon/Kallisto (quasi-mapping)
- Differential gene expression Trinity pipeline (DESeq2/EdgeR/Voom) PCA and hierarchical clustering
- Phylogeny: OrthoFinder and annotation Orthology assignment (OrthoFinder) Finding single-copy genes (OrthoSNAP) Gene annotation (Swiss-Prot and KEGG) Building tree (IQ-TREE)
- Synteny analysis (optional) Microsynteny Macrosynteny
