DESCRIPTION:This 3-day training workshop\, held from 1st to 3rd April 2025\
 , offers a comprehensive introduction to metagenomics\, focusing on the an
 alysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data from microbial communities
 . The program is designed for beginners and combines interactive lectures 
 with hands-on tutorials using the de.NBI cloud environment.\n\nWhat You Wi
 ll Learn\nDay 1: Basics\n\nLinux Basics: A short step-by-step guide to nav
 igating the command-line interface\, ensuring all participants are ready f
 or the computational aspects of the workshop.\nIntroduction to Metagenomic
 s: Overview of metagenomics workflows\, including pre-processing\, quality
  checks\, and error handling for sequencing data.\nBasics of Nextflow: Lea
 rn the fundamentals of Nextflow scripting to create scalable and reproduci
 ble bioinformatics workflows.\n \n\nDay 2: Metagenomic Workflows\n\nnf-cor
 e Pipelines: An introduction to the nf-core community and how its workflow
 s can simplify metagenomic data analysis.\nTaxonomy Profiling: Explore met
 hods and tools for identifying and classifying microbial species in sequen
 cing datasets.\nHands-On Practical: Taxonomy Profiling with Nextflow: Appl
 y what you’ve learned in a guided session on running taxonomy profiling 
 workflows using nf-core.\nAssembly and Binning: Learn how to reconstruct g
 enomes from metagenomic data using assembly and binning techniques.\nClass
 ification and Annotation: Discover methods to classify and annotate metage
 nomic reads\, contigs\, and bins for functional analysis.\nPractical Sessi
 on: MG-tk and MAG Pipelines: Work on real data using MG-tk and MAG tools\,
  focusing on best practices for metagenome data pre-processing\, assembly\
 , and binning.\n \n\nDay 3: Workflow Automation and Closing Remarks\n\nClo
 ud Workflow Management (CLOWM): Introduction to managing metagenomic workf
 lows in a cloud environment\, enabling efficient data processing.\nRunning
  Workflows in CLOWM: Hands-on practice executing workflows on the de.NBI c
 loud.\nOpen Discussion: Wrap up the course with a Q&amp\;A and feedback se
 ssion to address specific challenges and share ideas for future directions
 .\n \n\nWho should attend?\nThis course is for beginners with some knowled
 ge of microbiology or NGS data but no prior experience in computational an
 alysis. There will be no participation fee\, yet travel and accommodation 
 expenses need to be paid by the participants. Please bring your own device
 ! \n\n \n\nRegistration and Deadline :\n \nTo apply for the Joint NFDI &am
 p\; de.NBI Metagenomic Training Course 2025\, please complete the registra
 tion form\, which includes questions about your academic and professional 
 background\, motivation\, and previous experience in relevant fields. Thes
 e responses will help us assess your suitability for the course and make s
 elections if the number of applications exceeds the available spots.\n\nRe
 gistration Deadline: Please submit your application by  March 03 2025.\nEa
 rly registration is encouraged\, as spaces may be limited.
