The CREiGS Online Asynchronous Curriculum
November 22, 2026 - February 5, 2027

The online, asynchronous component of CREiGS allows participants to engage with the course material on a weekly basis at a time that is most convenient to them. Additionally, there are weekly lab sessions led by the teaching assistant(s) to reinforce the lecture material via applied, interactive lessons grounded in real-world examples from the peer-reviewed, scientific literature and using publicly accessible data repositories to ensure that participants are grasping the most important underlying concepts covered in the lectures. Participants will also have ample opportunities to ask questions during the weekly lab sessions and via real-time course communication channels. The eleven weekly asynchronous lectures will focus on the following four areas: Dimension reduction methods in scRNA-seq analysis (Weeks 1-2), K-nearest neighbor clustering and data integration (Week 3-5), Statistical methods used in scRNA-seq analysis (Weeks 6-8), and career development using public scRNA-seq resources (Weeks 9-11).
