For few areas of genomics, do best practices evolve as quickly and continuously as for RNA-seq applications.

As a consequence of the rapid development within RNA-seq, researchers struggle to ensure that their analysis pipelines meet the latest standards. In the daily routine users often run a mix of different bioinformatics tools for the respective analysis step they perform best, from read mapping through isoform quantification to the detection of differential abundance. However, integrating and testing the best performers among a growing number of analysis solutions is complex and time time consuming.

RNA-seq analysis is a declared focus area for QIAGEN bioinformatics. Users of CLC Genomics Workbench and Biomedical Genomics Workbench rely on us to constantly evaluate emerging bioinformatics approaches and integrate leading approaches into our solutions in a way that follows modern design control and quality assurance criteria. In our workshop we will share best practices as well as some of the recent improvements and underlying methods implemented into our RNA-seq solution.
