DESCRIPTION:Metabarcoding has revolutionized the study of biodiversity scie
 nce. By combining DNA taxonomy with high-throughput DNA sequencing\, it of
 fers the potential to observe a larger diversity in the taxa within a sing
 le sample\, rapidly expanding the scope of microbial analysis and generati
 ng high-quality biodiversity data. \n\nThis workshop will introduce the to
 pic of metabarcoding and how you can use Qiime2 to analyse 16S data and ga
 in simultaneous identification of all taxa within a sample. Qiime2 is a po
 pular tool used to perform powerful microbiome analysis that can transform
  your raw data into publication quality visuals and statistics. In this wo
 rkshop\, using example 16S data from the shallow-water marine anemone _E. 
 diaphana_\, you will learn how to use this pipeline to run essential steps
  in microbial analysis including generating taxonomic assignments and phyl
 ogenic trees\, and performing both alpha- and beta- diversity analysis. \n
 \n**Date/time:** 12 - 5pm AEDT/ 11 - 4pm AEST/ 11:30 - 4:30 ACDT/ 9am - 2p
 m AWST\, Tuesday 22 February 2022\n\n**Lead Trainers:** Dr Ashley Dungan (
 School of Bioscience\, University of Melbourne) and Dr Gayle Philip (Melbo
 urne Bioinformatics)\n\n**Learning outcomes**\n\nBy the end of this worksh
 op you should be able to:\n\n\n\n1. Understand data and metadata formats r
 equired for Qiime2\n2. Use Qiime2 to:\n    1. Create and interpret sequenc
 e quality data\n    2. Generate taxonomy reports/tables and phylogenic tre
 es based on amplicon sequence variants\n    3. Compare Alpha and Beta data
  analysis\n    4. Develop publication quality graphics and statistics usin
 g 16S sequencing data\n3. Assess the results to determine the influence of
  genotype (an intrinsic factor) and environment (an extrinsic factor) on a
 nemone-associated bacterial communities\n\n**Who the workshop is for**\n\n
 This workshop is for researchers studying microbiomes as part of their pro
 jects.\n\nThe workshop will be conducted in a Unix environment so basic co
 mmand line knowledge (e.g. logging in to a remote machine\, navigating the
  directory structure and copy files between the computers) is a prerequisi
 te\n\nYou should be familiar with the concepts of microbial analysis a how
 ever no previous experience with Qiime2 is required.\n\n**How to apply**\n
 \nThis workshop is free but participation is subject to application with s
 election.\n\nYou must be associated with an Australian organisation and pr
 ovide an appropriate organisational email address for your application to 
 be considered. \n\nApplications close 8 February 2022. Applications will b
 e reviewed by the organising committee and  all applicants will be informe
 d of the status of their application  Successful applicants will be provid
 ed with a Zoom meeting link closer to the date.\n\n**[Apply here](https://
