2023 Metagenomics Summer School

The Environmental Microbiomes team at Genomics Aotearoa is hosting the annual Metagenomics Summer School once more at the University of Auckland, City Campus, September 5-8, 2023.

This practical, hands-on in-person workshop focuses on prokaryotic metagenomics. It aims to guide learners through the process of analysing metagenomic sequence data, from metagenomic read sequences to curated metagenome-assembled genomes paired with downstream data analyses and visualisation in R. It also includes the following lessons:

• Introduction to Bash shell and scripting (pre-workshop session)
• Pragmatic considerations during experiment/sampling planning and decision-making (e.g., how much sequence data do I need? What are the approaches to analysing the data I have?)
• Best practices in handling and processing metagenomic data
• Viral genome prediction from metagenomic assemblies

Learners of all bioinformatics skill levels are invited to register their interest.
