Single Cell ATAC-Seq Data Analysis Part 1
This 2-day hands-on workshop will provide an introduction to a typical single-cell ATAC-seq protocol and focus on the data analysis steps to address unique computational challenges before the downstream analysis. You’ll learn how to perform quality checks of raw data in the typical format provided by sequencing centers, how to process the data, perform dimensionality reduction for visualization, clustering and cell type annotation, generate a gene score matrix to identify cell types, and perform motif and peak enrichment using ArchR. Prior experience with transcriptomics data or attendance at an scRNA-seq or bulk RNA-seq workshop is required.
