Hands-on Training in Metagenomics Data Analysis
May26 - 29, 2020
Where?
National Institutes of Health (ONLINE)
9000 Rockville Pike
Building 60, Room 162
Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
Objectives
Metagenomics is gaining importance due to low cost next generation sequencing technologies. This training will introduce participants to the end-to-end solutions for analyzing metagenomic data, starting from data quality analysis, alignment, community profiling, taxonomic comparison and novel taxa discovery.
Simultaneous access to two screens is highly recommended for adequate learning experience. Examples include two laptops, one computer with two screens, one laptop and one tablet, etc.
