Dear all,

there are only a few seats remaining for the Physalia online course on Environmental Metagenomics!

Dates: 13-17 October (9 am -1 PM Berlin time)

Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/environmental-metagenomics/

This hands-on course will guide you through state-of-the-art bioinformatic approaches for analysing microbial communities, from read-based taxonomic profiling to genome-resolved metagenomics (MAGs), using both short- (Illumina) and long-read (Nanopore) sequencing data.

By completing this course, attendees will:

• Understand the basics of metagenomic sequencing and bioinformatic approaches for the analysis of metagenomic data
• Be able to plan and execute a metagenomic sequencing project
• Have an up-to-date knowledge on the bioinformatic tools and best practices for the analysis of metagenomes
• Be able to choose the right tools and approaches to answer your specific research question
• Have confidence to learn new methods needed to answer your research question
