With increasing adoptio n of Next Generation Sequencing technologies to infectious disease surveil lance and outbreak investigations\, genomic epidemiology (combining pathog en genomics data with epidemiological investigations to track the spread o f infectious diseases) is poised to change the practices of public health and infection controls and provides unprecedented amount of data for patho gen evolution studies. The CBW has developed a 3-day course providing an i ntroduction to genomic epidemiology analysis followed by hands-on practica l tutorials demonstrating the use selected analysis tools. The tutorials a re designed as self-contained units that include example data and detailed instructions for installation of all required bioinformatics tools or acc ess to publicly available web applications.
