RDMbites | RNAseq expression data - TeSS (Training eSupport System)

Content provider

In 2021, ELIXIR-UK was granted a UKRI award for the ELIXIR-UK DaSH Fellowship. The University of Bradford leads the project with a delivery team at Cardiff University, the Earlham Institute, the University of Manchester, and the University of Oxford.

The project aims to embed Research Data Management (RDM) know-how into UK universities and institutes by producing and delivering training in FAIR data stewardship using ELIXIR-UK knowledge and resources, such as the RDMkit and the FAIR Cookbook.

It focuses on building capacity and professionalising data stewardship while leveraging the local expertise within diverse UK institutions – creating a data management culture change from within the institutions.

RDMbites | RNAseq expression data

View material

In this RDMbite you will learn about common units for gene, or transcript, expression, including some which you could argue could be retired but are still very common in databases and publications. We’ll discuss the drawbacks of some metrics, and make the case for using TPMs as standard.
