BMS5301 Advanced transcriptomics: Bulk, single-cell and spatial analysis

In this unit, you will learn the advanced techniques and applications of transcriptomic analysis. Three core methodologies will be explored: bulk RNA sequencing, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), and spatial transcriptomics. The unit is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how transcriptomic data is generated, processed, and analysed. You will gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge computational tools and techniques, enabling you to interpret complex transcriptomic data and derive meaningful biological insights.
Throughout the unit, you will participate in a range of learning activities, including online lectures, hands-on workshop sessions, and case study analyses. These activities will help you develop the skills needed to handle various scales of transcriptomic data and apply them to real-world research questions in genomics, biotechnology, and biomedical sciences. By the end of the unit, you will be equipped with the knowledge and practical skills to conduct sophisticated transcriptomic analyses and contribute to advancements in the field.
