Curriculum
An end-to-end RNA-Seq workflow in Galaxy
Seven modules, taught in the order you would run a real analysis. Everything runs in Galaxy, a web-based platform, so no coding is required.

01
Introduction to next-generation sequencing
Sequencing platforms, RNA-Seq experiment design, and the file formats you will work with. Tool: Galaxy.
02
Quality control and read preprocessing
Assess read quality, then trim adapters and low-quality bases before analysis. Tools: FastQC, MultiQC, Cutadapt, Trimmomatic.
03
Read alignment and mapping
Map reads to a reference genome and evaluate alignment quality. Tools: HISAT2, STAR.
04
Gene quantification
Count reads per gene to build an expression matrix.
05
Differential expression analysis
Normalize counts and identify genes that change between conditions. Tool: DESeq2.
06
Visualization and exploratory analysis
PCA, heatmaps and volcano plots to explore and present your results.
07
Functional and pathway enrichment
Interpret gene lists through GO terms and biological pathways.

FAQ
Course questions
Do I need coding experience or prerequisites?
No coding is needed: the whole workflow runs in Galaxy, a web-based platform. A basic understanding of bioinformatics is expected.
What will I need on my computer?
A computer running Windows 10/11, macOS or Linux, with a reliable internet connection. Galaxy and Google Meet both run in your web browser.
What if I miss a live session?
Every session is recorded, and you get access to the recordings.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. The certificate is awarded on completing the course assignment.
How do I pay and register?
Pay the fee for your category first (UPI, bank transfer, card or PayPal), then fill in the registration form with your transaction ID, payment screenshot and category ID. See Fees and how to enroll. For help, email info@cbirt.net or message us on WhatsApp.
