Right before EuroBioC2025 starts, on Monday and Tuesday 15th and 16th of September, the Bioconductor training committee organizes the following two-day Bioconductor Carpentry Workshops:

• Analysis and interpretation of bulk RNA sequencing data with Bioconductor: This course shows how to use Bioconductor packages to analyse bulk RNA-seq data including how to import and annotated quantified data into R, exploratory analysis and quality control, differential expression analyais and gene set enrichment analysis. Pre-requisites: familiarity with R and Bioconductor. Instructors: Estefania Mancini, Vasileios Panagoitis Lenis and Jacques Serizay.

• Analysis and interpretation of single-cell RNA sequencing data with Bioconductor: This course shows how to use Bioconductor packages for essential single-cell analysis steps including quality control, cell type annotation, multi-sample analysis, working with large data, and integration with public data. Pre-requisites: familiarity with R and Bioconductor, familiarity with bulk RNA-seq data analysis is beneficial, but not strictly required. Instructors: Robert Ivánek and Kevin Rue-Albrecht.

Each workshop takes two days (9am-5pm approx.), so you should either register for one or the other. Lunch and tea/coffee breaks will be provided.

What is a Bioconductor Carpentry Workshop

The Carpentries is a global community focused on teaching foundational coding and data science skills to researchers. The core of this community are Carpentries Instructors, who work together to grow their instructional and technical skills. Bioconductor is a member of The Carpentries, supporting community members to earn Carpentries instructor certification, develop Bioconductor-specific training materials, and teach Carpentry workshops on those materials.

A Bioconductor Carpentry Workshop is a course on how to use Bioconductor packages and workflows, led by Carpentry-certified instructors on materials developed by the Bioconductor community.
