DESCRIPTION:With increasing adoption of Next Generation Sequencing technolo
 gies to infectious disease surveillance and outbreak investigations\, geno
 mic epidemiology (combining pathogen genomics data with epidemiological in
 vestigations to track the spread of infectious diseases) is poised to chan
 ge the practices of public health and infection controls and provides unpr
 ecedented amount of data for pathogen evolution studies.\n\nThe CBW has de
 veloped a 3-day course providing an introduction to genomic epidemiology a
 nalysis followed by hands-on practical tutorials demonstrating the use sel
 ected analysis tools. The tutorials are designed as self-contained units t
 hat include example data and detailed instructions for installation of all
  required bioinformatics tools or access to publicly available web applica
 tions.\n\nParticipants will gain practical experience and skills to be abl
 e to:\n\nUnderstand next generation sequencing (NGS) platforms as applied 
 to pathogen genomics and metagenomics sequencing\nAnalyze NGS data for pat
 hogen surveillance and outbreak investigations\nAnalyze antimicrobial resi
 stance genes\nDetect emerging pathogens in metagenomics data\nPerform phyl
 ogeographic analysis\nUse different visualization tools for genomic epidem
 iology analysis
