Venue: Michael Smith Lecture Theatre
Pre-requisite: Basic understsanding of R & Rstudio
This workshop presents a step-by-step workflow of a single cell RNA-seq analysis. Please note we will be covering single cell and single nuclei RNA-sequencing (no ATAC or bulk). We will also show an app to visualise the data; however, the app only works in Windows and Mac.
Please follow the instructions below to setup your computer before the start of the workshop:
-
Download
R 3.6.2
for Mac (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/) and for Windows (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/). For installation continue with the default settings. When asked for the password, give the password of the machine. -

-
Start RStudio
-
Install the following packages by pasting the following command in RStudio
install.packages(c('ggplot2', 'GGally','Rtsne','umap','tidyverse','factoextra','cluster'))
if(!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE)) install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install(c("scater", "Seurat", "scran", "biomaRt", "org.Hs.eg.db", "dynamicTreeCut","ComplexHeatmap"))
- Download/clone the SCRUM_single_cell_bioinformatics_workshop from https://github.com/fls-bioinformatics-core/SCRUM_single_cell_bioinformatics_workshop. We will be using this folder as the home directory for the analysis.
