Single-Cell Analysis Workshop for Wet-lab Researchers

Who should attend?

PhD students and Researchers working with single-cell data, eager to begin their journey in single-cell data analysis and deepen their understanding of underlying workflow.

How should you prepare?

No preparation is needed but to make most of this workshop, please bring any single-cell data (count matrices) you might already have.

What will we cover?

Overview of Single-Cell RNA-Seq Data Journey

  • Overview of the end-to-end single-cell analysis workflow and discussion on the importance of each step in single-cell research

Understanding Data Formats

  • Introduction to common single-cell data formats (e.x., FASTQ, MTX, H5AD) and explanation of metadata and its role in data analysis

Basics of Single-Cell Data Analysis

  • Key analysis parameters: quality control thresholds, normalization methods
  • Introduction to dimensionality reduction techniques (PCA, UMAP) and how parameter adjustments affect analysis outcomes

Handling Data Lifecycle

  • Techniques for mixing and splitting cells across different conditions and best practices for data integration and batch effect correction

Exploring UMAPs and Clusters

  • Generating UMAP plots and interpreting clusters
  • Assessing data quality using marker genes
  • Introduction to clustering algorithms and their biological significance

Data Annotation

  • Strategies for annotating cell types and states and utilizing reference datasets and annotation tools
  • Importance of accurate annotation for downstream analysis

Differential Gene Expression

  • Methods for identifying differentially expressed genes
  • Statistical considerations and multiple testing correction
  • Interpreting results in a biological context

Hands-On Session with Nygen - Our Analysis Workbench and Insights Feature

  • Step-by-step guidance through the analysis workflow using participants' data
  • Practical exercises covering data import, processing, and visualization and using LLM-augmented insights feature

Highlighting Open-Source Tools for Advanced Users
