We are excited to announce an “Understanding chromatin biology using high-throughput sequencing” advanced workshop!
The workshop will be held online (zoom) on June 18, 21 and 25 from 9:30 AM to 12PM noon each day. Participants are expected to attend all three sessions. More details, including the workshop description, are available on the registration page.

The format of the workshop is as follows: instruction will be mostly learner-centric requiring workshop participants to spend between 2-3 hours on reading and exercises from selected lessons before the workshop sessions. Classes will be focused on exercises and discussion. Please make sure you take this into account when you sign up!
This is one of our advanced workshops which requires registrants to have attended our Introduction to command-line interface and HPC workshop within the last 6-8 months. Alternatively, basic command line familiarity through regular use of a high performance cluster (HPC) will also be considered.
Dates and Times:
Tuesday, June 18th: 9:30 AM - 12PM
Friday, June 21st: 9:30 AM - 12PM
Tuesday, June 25th: 9:30 AM - 12PM
Where: Online (Zoom)
Workshop description:
This 3-day hands-on workshop will begin with a basic introduction of concepts related to gene regulation followed by a description of three common approaches used to interrogate chromatin biology: ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN and ATAC-seq. This workshop will provide participants with important considerations for setting up a successful ChIP-seq/CUT&RUN/ATAC-seq experiment and describe the detailed workflow for analyzing ChIP-seq data. For each step of the workflow there will be additional information describing how parameters might change for CUT&RUN-seq and ATAC-seq. The workshop will instruct participants on how to efficiently manage and analyze high throughput sequencing data starting from sequence reads through to peak calling, using tools and software available on the HMS-RC's high performance compute cluster.
Prerequisites:
This is one of our advanced workshops, and requires registrants to have attended the following Basic workshop offered by our training team within the last 6-8 months: Introduction to command-line interface and HPC workshop. Alternatively, basic command line familiarity through regular use of a high performance cluster will also be considered.
