Dear all, We are excited to announce our upcoming online course on Environmental Metagenomics, scheduled for November 11-15. Course website: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/environmental-metagenomics/ ) This course will introduce you to cutting-edge bioinformatic approaches for metagenomic data analysis. You will learn to use both read- and assembly-based methods, working with data from short- (e.g., Illumina) and long-read (e.g., Nanopore) sequencing platforms to enhance metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) assembly and binning. Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of UNIX and molecular biology is recommended. By completing this course, you 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 For the full list of our courses and workshops, please visit: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/environmental-metagenomics/ ) Best regards, Carlo Carlo Pecoraro, Ph.D Physalia-courses DIRECTOR info@physalia-courses.org mobile: +49 17645230846 "info@physalia-courses.org" (to subscribe/unsubscribe the EvolDir send mail to golding@mcmaster.ca)
