This website was created to centralise information regarding the different pipelines used for bioinformatic analyses by the members of the Vallier lab. The aim is to help biologists get familiar with the jargon, the tools and QC steps necessary for each type of pipeline. Here you will find links to relevant tutorials and courses in order to help you get started and guide you as you step into the world of bioinformatics.

Here you will find the resources to start learning how to use software programming environments like Python and R, which are most commonly used in bioinformatics. If coding isn't for you, you will find a few options that allow you to analyse your data using user-friendly graphical interfaces.

Getting Started

GO TO PAGE

ChIP-seq

Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing allows you to map transcription factor binding sites, or histone modifications, in the whole genome.

ATAC-seq

ATAC-seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using high-throughput sequencing) is a method to assess genome-wide profile of chromatin accessibility.

GO TO PIPELINE

RNA-seq

RNA sequencing is a method to quantify the transcriptome, being useful to characterise differences in gene expression across different samples or treatments.

scRNA-seq

scRNA-seq (single cell RNA sequencing) is a technique to examine the transcriptome from individual cells within a population
