Overview
This course teaches learners how to integrate single-cell RNA-Seq datasets in R using the Seurat package to correct for batch effects. The course covers study design, types of integration, batch correction methods, downloading and reading data in R, merging Seurat objects, quality control, visualization of data before and after integration, and comparing UMAPs. The intended audience for this course includes beginners in genomics, bioinformatics researchers, and individuals interested in single-cell RNA sequencing and data integration techniques. The teaching method involves a detailed tutorial with a step-by-step workflow and additional external resources for further learning.
