- Poor resolution for development, differentiation, heterogenous tissues
- Identify cell types in a tissue
- Temporal/spatial/conditional change in cellular state and composition

## Summary

- Sound experimental design to avoid confounding
- Plan carefully about lib prep, sequencing etc based on experimental objective
- Biological replicates may be more important than paired-end reads or long reads
- Discard low quality bases, reads, genes and samples
- Verify that tools and methods align with data assumptions
- Experiment with multiple pipelines and tools
- QC! QC everything at every step

## Hands-On tutorial

**Main exercise**

- 01 Check the quality of the raw reads with **FastQC**
- 02 Map the reads to the reference genome using **Star**
- 03 Assess the post-alignment quality using **QualiMap**
- 04 Count the reads overlapping with genes using **featureCounts**
- 05 Build a statistical model to find DE genes using **edgeR** from a prepared R script

**Bonus exercises**

- 01 Functional annotation of DE genes using **GO/Reactome** databases
- 02 Visualisation of RNA-seq BAM files using **IGV** genome browser
- 03 RNA-Seq figures and plots using **R**
- 04 De-novo transcriptome assembly using **Trinity**
