Hi everyone Instats is excited to offer a 2-day seminar, Single-Cell Analysis with Bioconductor <https://instats.org/seminar/single-cell-analysis-with-bioconductor>, running livestreaming September 5 – 19 and led by Director of Computational Biology from Harvard Medical School, professor Ludwig Geistlinger. Although single-cell RNA-seq is rooted in molecular biology, its techniques align closely with questions ecologists and natural-systems scientists face when disentangling heterogeneity within complex communities—whether profiling functional cell types in coral symbioses, tracing immune responses in wildlife disease studies, or linking root-microbiome variation to plant fitness. Over four live sessions you’ll work in R/Bioconductor to learn end-to-end workflows: data import, quality control, dimensionality reduction, clustering, cell-type identification, multi-sample differential expression, and effective visualisation. The course also demonstrates seamless hand-offs to Seurat, Scanpy/scverse, and public atlases (e.g. Human Cell Atlas) so you can integrate reference annotations or environmental metadata. By the end, you will be able to design and analyse single-cell experiments that reveal fine-scale ecological and physiological patterns, adding a new layer of resolution to studies of population health, adaptation, and ecosystem functioning.
Sign up today <https://instats.org/seminar/single-cell-analysis-with-bioconductor> to secure your spot, , and please share with colleagues and students working in ecology, conservation, and natural-systems research who could benefit!
