Bioinformatics BootCamp: Analysis of MicroRNA Expression and Function by a Variety of Techniques (8.29.18)

This is part of our "Bioinformatics BootCamp for Postdocs" series.

Workshop Description: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are post‐transcriptional regulators that silence gene expression by binding mainly to untranslated regions in the 3' end of the target messenger RNA transcripts. This session will be useful for any researcher who wants to investigate miRNA's in detail. Topics covered include basic techniques for miRNA isolation, expression profiling and validation, as well as their functional analysis in mammalian cells.

The c3 Bioinformatics team, in conjunction with theHMS/HSDM Office for Postdoctoral Fellows, is offering 2018 Summer Bioinformatics Bootcamp. The hands-on workshops will be held between June 06 and August 29, 2018. Bootcamp completion certificate is awarded for those who attend at least 70 % of the workshops.
