  plants\, fungi\, bacteria and archaea. They are the most abundant type of
  biological entity and are found in almost every ecosystem on Earth. This 
 1-day course gives a comprehensive introduction to bioinformatic resources
  relevant to viruses\, the basics of viral ‘omics (genomics\, proteomics
 \, metagenomics\, and interactomics)  data  analysis\, and problems faced 
 when analysing viral data. \n\n# Audience\nThis course is intended for bio
 informaticians\, scientists and clinicians\, from academia or industry\, w
 ho are interested in handling viral data.\n\n# Learning outcomes\nAt the e

  resources relevant to viruses \n* Describe the type of information that t
 he resources provide \n* Explain the analyses that can be performed using 
 this information\n* Understand the structure of the data and eventual pitf
 alls in its analysis\n\n# Prerequisites\n##### Knowledge / competencies\nT
