Detailed information about this course:
Description
This course aims to give an introduction into the analysis and interpretation of epigenomics and transcriptomics data in the setting of population-based studies. We will introduce both types of omics and discuss their technical background, quality control and normalization, analytical approaches, interpretation of results and follow-up analyses.
The course will include short practical sessions during which course participants can learn to with epigenomic and transcriptomic data using R.
See 'how to apply' for the course registration period.
Objectives
To familiarize participants with the basic concepts relevant for analyzing and interpreting epigenomic and transcriptomic data in population studies.
Participant profile
Researchers in the fields of epidemiology, (population) genetics, biostatistics, molecular biology, clinicians with an interest in epigenetic research.
