Description: This workshop is designed to provide participants with a foundational understanding of the strategic decisions and computational workflows involved in single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data analysis. The session emphasizes not only the practical implementation of a standard analysis pipeline but also the critical evaluation of its underlying assumptions and limitations.

Pre-requisites:

1. Experience with R (RStudio Installed)
2. Seurat and tidyverse packages
3. 10X Genomics PBMC Dataset (Download Instructions will be provided)

NOTE: Please be advised that persons funded by D2R are given priority for in-person attendance. If you are not funded by D2R, please register for the online workshop, and mark whether you would prefer to be moved to the in-person workshop. We will adjust attendance based on availability the week before the workshop.
