Beskrivning
National course open for PhD students (prioritized), postdocs, researchers and other employees in need of bioinformatic skills within all Swedish universities.
Inlärningsmål
During the three-day SciLifeLab metagenomics course, the participants will be brought up to date with the current state-of-the-art in the rapidly emerging field of environmental genomics, including metagenomics and single cell genomics. The course will focus on computational methods for assembly and functional annotation of environmental genomics data.
Innehåll
Topics covered will include:
Quality assessment of sequence reads
Assembly of metagenomic and single cell genomic datasets
Gene calling and functional annotation – different binning strategies for metagenomics contigs
Comparative metagenomics
