NIH Fellows or NIH community members being sponsored by their lab and awaiting payment authorization can tentatively hold a seat using the “Reserve A Seat” option. FAES must receive payment within 7 business days after reserving a seat or 3 business days before the start of the workshop, which ever comes first. If payment is not received in this time frame, your reservation will be canceled.
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.
Highlights
Participants will work with a Graphic User Interface based Linux Desktop environment in the Amazon Cloud, that is specially configured to run popular open source metagenomics analysis tools. Participants will also receive a cookbook style manual for all the hands-on exercises.
Who should attend
- Researchers and academics who are aspiring to learn the popular tools and techniques to analyze metagenomic/microbiome data.
- Clinicians who are interested in discovering metagenomics based biomarkers for diagnostic and therapeutic uses.
- Biomedical students who are interested in pursuing research on metagenomics.
- Scientists in program administration interested in learning the standard tools for metagenomic analysis.
Prerequisites
Participants should be comfortable with basic computer skills.
