W31: Spatial Transcriptomics

529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

Spatial transcriptomics is an emerging field that bridges molecular biology and anatomy. Over the last decade, a battery of assays have been developed that profile gene expression in-situ, i.e, measuring the abundances of mRNA molecules in cells and tissues while retaining information about their spatial locations. This workshop will introduce the basic concepts, major techniques, […]

W7: ChIP-seq Analysis

W1A: Unix command line I

529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

Unix is a command-line-based platform that is a highly powerful and flexible tool for data management and analysis. First, this workshop introduces the basic concepts of UNIX operating system and shell scripting. We will explore essential hands-on skills to confidently use the command line interface on either a local (laptop) or a remote (hoffman2 cluster) […]
