| Metagenomics Summer School |
| The Environmental Microbiomes team at Genomics Aotearoa is hosting the 5th annual Metagenomics Summer (Spring) School.
This practical, hands-on workshop focuses on prokaryotic metagenomics and will be conducted in person at the University of Auckland, City Campus, Auckland, from September 3 to 6, 2024.
The workshop aims to guide participants through the process of analysing metagenomic short-read sequence data, including metagenomic read sequence processing, generation of curated metagenome-assembled genomes, and downstream data analyses and visualisation in R.
For a brief overview, browse course materials from the previous workshop here.
Examples of topics covered are:
- Introduction to Bash shell and scripting (pre-workshop session)
- Pragmatic considerations for planning experiments/sampling excursions (e.g., how much sequence data do I need? What are the approaches to analysing the data I have?)
- Best practices in handling and processing metagenomic data
- Metagenome assembly, binning and annotation
- Viral genome prediction from metagenomic assemblies
We invite researchers of all bioinformatics skill levels and career stages to register their interest here. Registrations close at 2pm on Friday, June 7.
Email Boey at jian.sheng.boey@auckland.ac.nz if you have any enquiries. |
