In this workshop, participants will learn about concepts involved in the analysis of transcriptome-wide gene expression data generated by RNA sequencing. Concepts and methods to be covered include:

• Data format and organization
• Data quality control
• Experimental design
• Differential expression analysis
• Graphical display of results
• Gene set enrichment analysis

Laboratory methods for generation of gene expression data will not be covered. Participants can apply these concepts to gene expression studies of human and non-human samples. We will highlight the use of gene expression data from the Study of Muscle, Mobility, and Aging (SOMMA).
