Hands-on for 'Reference-based RNA-Seq data analysis' tutorial

The questions this addresses are:
- What are the steps to process RNA-Seq data?
- How to identify differentially expressed genes across multiple experimental conditions?
- What are the biological functions impacted by the differential expression of genes?

The objectives are:
- Check a sequence quality report generated by FastQC for RNA-Seq data
- Explain the principle and specificity of mapping of RNA-Seq data to an eukaryotic reference genome
- Select and run a state of the art mapping tool for RNA-Seq data
- Evaluate the quality of mapping results
- Describe the process to estimate the library strandness
- Estimate the number of reads per genes
- Explain the count normalization to perform before sample comparison
- Construct and run a differential gene expression analysis
- Analyze the DESeq2 output to identify, annotate and visualize differentially expressed genes
- Perform a gene ontology enrichment analysis
- Perform and visualize an enrichment analysis for KEGG pathways
