DESCRIPTION:Gain knowledge of the tools\, processes and analysis approache
 s used in the field of metagenomics.\n\nThis course will cover the metagen
 omics data analysis workflow from the point of newly generated sequence da
 ta. Participants will explore the use of publicly available resources and
  tools to manage\, share\, analyse and interpret metagenomics data. The co
 ntent will include issues of data quality control and how to submit to 
 public repositories. While sessions will detail marker-gene and whole-gen
 ome shotgun (WGS) approaches\; the primary focus will be on assembly-ba
 sed approaches. Discussions will also explore considerations when assembli
 ng genome data\, the analysis that can be carried out by MGnify on such da
 tasets\, and what downstream analysis options and tools are available.\n\n
 #### Virtual course\n\nThe course content will involve participants learn
 ing via pre-recorded lectures\, live presentations and trainer Q&amp\;A s
 essions. Practical experience will be developed through group activities a
 nd computational exercises. Sessions will be delivered over [Zoom](https:
 //zoom.us/) with additional text communication over [Slack](https://slac
 k.com/intl/en-gb/). Trainers will be available to assist\, answer questio
 ns and further explain the analysis during these times. Computational pra
 cticals will be run in [Docker containers](https://www.docker.com/) ope
 rating on EMBL-EBI's virtual training infrastructure\; this means there i
 s no need to have a powerful computer to run exercises or a requirement t
 o install complex software before the course.\n\nParticipants will need 
 to be available between the hours of 09:00-17:00 GMT each day of the cours
 e.
