[Coral-List] RNAseq / quantitative PCR workshop, reminder...

[Mikhail Matz]

Dear colleagues - 

For all ecologists and organismal biologists who want to adopt gene expression analysis in their work: 
in June 12-28, 2013, we will be running back-to-back workshops on tag-based RNA-seq and on quantitative PCR. 

We endeavor to introduce people with minimal or even no prior molecular and bioinformatic experience to the analysis of global gene expression using the low-cost version of RNA-seq ($50/sample, Meyer et al, Mol Ecol 2011, 17: 3599-3616), and right after that we will teach quantitative PCR, the golden standard for validating RNA-seq results.

Please see the details (why we are doing it, what exactly do we offer, how much it costs, and how to apply) here:

The deadline for applications is April 15, 2013.

best wishes,
