EMBL-EBI
Metagenomics bioinformatics
Date: 8 - 12 November 2021
Learn about the tools, processes and analysis approaches used in the field of metagenomics.
This course will cover the use of publicly available resources to manage, share, analyse and interpret metagenomics data; including marker gene, whole gene shotgun (WGS) and assembly-based approaches.
The virtually-delivered content will involve participants learning via pre-recorded lectures and live presentations, followed by live Q&As with the trainers. Practical experience will be developed in group activities and in computational exercises run in Docker containers on our virtual training infrastructure.
Participants will need to be available between the hours of 09:00-17:00 GMT each day of the course.

Target audience: This course is aimed at life scientists who are working in the field of metagenomics and are currently in the early stages of data analysis. Participants should have some prior experience of using bioinformatics in their research. The practical sessions in the course require a basic understanding of the Unix command line and the R statistics package. If you are not already familiar with these then please ensure that you complete these free tutorials before you attend the course: Basic introduction to the Unix environment: www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix Basic R concept tutorials: www.r-tutor.com/r-introduction
