• You're aÌýresearcher, academician, orÌýstudentÌýinterested in transcriptomics and its applications.

• You're interested inÌýadvancedÌýskillsÌýin RNA-seq analysis.

• You wantÌýuser-friendly platformsÌýfor the interpretation of RNA-seq data.

• You got the transcriptomeÌýresultsÌýfrom the sequencing vendorÌýbut not sure how toÌýinterpretÌýthem.

• You wish toÌýanalyseÌýthe transcriptome dataÌýhands-on,Ìýespecially as a biologist instead ofÌýa data scientist.

• You want to learn on how to mine forÌýbiological knowledgeÌýfrom transcriptome dataÌýwithout programming/coding.

• You work on a transcriptomic project and want to learn on how toÌýpublishÌýyour results as aÌýhigh-impactÌýjournal article.

This workshop is opened toÌýlocalÌý&ÌýinternationalÌýparticipants, from beginner to advanced researchersÌýinÌýmolecular biologyÌý/Ìýomics. TheÌýcontentÌý´Ç´Ú this workshop isÌýtransferableÌýto other omics studies such asÌýproteomics.

• Associate Professor Dr. Goh Hoe Han is a plant molecular biologist who obtained his PhD from the University of Sheffield, United Kingdom in 2011 before starting his first acedemic position at the Institute of Systems Biology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Upon joining INBIOSIS, he pioneered the Plant Functional Genomics Research Group focusing on the molecular exploration of tropical plants and crop improvement using functional genomics approaches. Some of the tropical plant species include kesum, ketum, Rafflesia, and Nepenthes pitcher plants, as well as important crops, such as mangosteen, papaya, rice, tomato, and oil palm. Fundamental understandings on the molecular aspects of these plants are crucial for their bioprospecting, industrial application, and crop improvement.

• Dr Goh is keen on industrial collaboration in precision biotechnology for tropical plant improvement and also the commercialisation of novel recombinant plant enzymes. If you are interested to collaborate or be part of the plant functional genomics group, please email to gohhh@ukm.edu.my.
