Analysis of Metagenomic Data Workshop in Vancouver

[ameyer]

Canadian Bioinformatics Workshops has developed a 3-day course providing an introduction to metagenomic data analysis followed by hands-on practical tutorials demonstrating the use of metagenome analysis tools. The tutorials are designed as self-contained units that include example data and detailed instructions for installation of all required bioinformatics tools.

Participants will gain practical experience and skills to be able to:

• Design appropriate microbiome-focused experiments
• Understand the advantages and limitations of metagenomic data analysis
• Devise an appropriate bioinformatics workflow for processing and analyzing metagenomic sequence data (marker-gene, shotgun metagenomic, and metatranscriptomic data)
• Apply appropriate statistics to undertake rigourous data analysis
• Visualize datasets to gain intuitive insights into the composition and/or activity of their data set

The workshop will be held in Vancouver, BC on June 22 - June 24. For more information and to apply, please visit the workshop website.
