NCCR / SIB Summer School: Computational RNA Biology
From August 23 – 28, 2020, the Computational RNA Biology Summer School organized by the NCCR RNA & Disease and the Swiss Instiute of Bioinformatics was held on-site in Schwarzenberg, which is close to Lucerne. Over thirty participants, mostly from Switzerland, were taught by nine teachers from France, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland. The program consisted of lectures and hands-on group projects on the topics of long-read RNA sequencing, ribosome-profiling, single cell RNA analysis and CLIP-seq. Participants gave a very positive feedback on the summer school. We would like to thank the teachers and Grégoire Rossier, who took care of most of the organization of the summer school.
