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

This unit will provide you with an in-depth understanding of cutting-edge transcriptomic technologies. The central focus is on the principles and applications of bulk RNA sequencing, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), and spatial transcriptomics. You will explore the methodologies for data generation, processing, and analysis, gaining hands-on experience with state-of-the-art computational tools and techniques, including the use of AI and machine learning. The curriculum covers the interpretation of complex transcriptomic data, emphasising the biological insights that can be gleaned from different scales of analysis. These skills are central to a variety of research questions in genomics, biotechnology, and biomedical sciences.
