DESCRIPTION:This course focuses on the computational methods used to analys
 e the wealth of data produced by shotgun metagenomics and metabarcoding (A
 mplicon targeted metagenomics) studies.This course will provide you the in
 sights to the DNA metabarcoding analyses from preprocessing and quality co
 ntrol of the raw data to the construction of OTU/ASV tables\, taxon assign
 ment\, diversity analysis and differential abundance analysis using QIIME2
 . Further\, you will also learn about methods to generate the reference-ba
 sed profile to generate microbial community features like taxonomic abunda
 nces or functional profile and how to identify the ones characterizing dif
 ferences between two biological conditions.You will then be introduced to 
 methods used for assembly from metagenomics samples. Attendees will use to
 ols to assemble metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) from short read and lo
 ng read data. We will discuss the different approaches and tools available
  for these assemblies and the benefits and limitations of each options.
