Workshop Description (Intermediate Course)
This workshop aims to introduce the basic concepts and algorithms for single-cell RNA-seq analysis. It will help participants obtain a better idea of how to use scRNA-seq technology, from considerations in experimental design to data analysis and interpretation. This workshop can serve researchers who are interested in designing an scRNA-seq study or who have acquired scRNA-seq data and would like to learn about different analytical approaches.
Workshop Materials
Day 1

Day 3
Pitfalls and considerations
Techinical Requirements
Students should have a working copy of Python3 with the Scanpy, Numpy, Pandas, and Matplotlib packages installed. An integrated development environment (IDE) for Python, such as PyCharm or Spyder is also recommended.
