DESCRIPTION:Run jointly with [SymbNET](https://symbnet.eu/)\, this virtual
  course will introduce and discuss state-of-the art tools for understandin
 g microbial communities (metagenomics) and discovering and analysing speci
 es interactions in gut microbial communities\, with a particular focus on 
 metabolic interactions. The goal will be to enable users to integrate expe
 rimental results with the latest computational methods to move from correl
 ative analyses of host-microbiome systems towards mechanistic understandin
 g\, using a combination of introductory lectures and hands-on training mat
 erials.\n\n#### Virtual course\n\nParticipants will learn via a mix of pre
 -recorded lectures\, live presentations\, trainer Q&amp\;A sessions and ha
 nds-on training. Live sessions will be delivered using [Zoom](https://zoom
 .us/) with additional support and communication via [Slack](https://slack.
 com/intl/en-gb/). \n\nComputational practicals will run on EMBL-EBI's vir
 tual training infrastructure\, meaning participants will not require acces
 s to a powerful computer or install complex software on their machines.\n\
 nParticipants will need to be available between the hours of 09:00-17:30 G
 MT each day of the course. Trainers will be available to assist\, answer q
 uestions\, and further explain the analysis during these times.\n\n**About
  SymbNET**\n\n**SymbNET** is a European network for host-microbe interacti
 ons research\, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and 
 innovation programme. The project coordinated by FCG-IGC (Instituto Gulbe
 nkian de Ciência\, Portugal)\, brings together the world-leading research
  institutions EMBL (European Molecular Biology Laboratory\, Germany)\,  
 CAU (Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel\, Germany)\,  and UNIL (Un
 iversité de Lausanne\,  Switzerland)\, and a local widening partner ITQ
 B NOVA (Instituto de Tecnologia Química e Biológica\, Portugal).\n\n_Thi
 s project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 re
 search and innovation programme under grant agreement __[Nº 952537](http
