Good Practice in High-throughput Experiments
14 September 2022
14 September 2022
For-profit: 600 CHF
No future instance of this course is planned yet
Overview
This course offers an overview of good practice in high-throughput experiments (e.g. next-generation sequencing or compound screening). Particularly we focus on pitfalls in the design of projects (e.g. too low sample size or sequencing coverage, or sample batches overlap with biological groups), how to successfully plan an experiment and how to deal with challenges, e.g. batch effects or confounding factors. The workshop addresses the experimental as well as the data analysis components through the complete life cycle of a project, from the initial idea all the way to publication.
Audience
Scientists with all backgrounds (biologists, biochemists, clinicians, bioinformaticians, etc) are welcome to join this course. In particular, those who are about to plan and execute an high-throughput experiment can benefit the most.
Learning objectives
At the end of the course participants should be able to:
- Successfully design high-throughput experiments
- Avoid common pitfalls
- Detect and deal with challenges
Prerequisites
Knowledge / competencies
Basic theoretical knowledge in biology/biochemistry/computational analysis. No particular computational or wet lab experience is necessary.
Technical
Participants should bring their own internet-capable laptop or mobile device.
