16S rRNA gene profiling (metagenetics) and shotgun sequence based metagenomics are now well established and can be utilised to characterise complex populations.
The course will provide a 3-day introduction to the conceptual and practical issues involved in analysing such datasets, generated from the Illumina NGS platforms, and comprises the following sessions:
• Sequence data QC and preparation for downstream analyses
• Metagenomic shotgun sequence analysis.
• Taxonomic profiling (MetaPhlAn)
• Metagenome assembly (MEGAHIT) and annotation (Prokka)
• Functional annotation (Cognizer)
• Data visualisation
• Analysis of 16S rRNA data with QIIME
• Laboratory tour of sequencing laboratory
• Metagenome functional prediction using metagenetic data
Candidates will be selected on their suitability as outlined in their application. Application form. Attendees are required to have basic linux command line skills. Candidates can be advised on how to gain these skills in an easy and free manner.
