(2023) CBW-IMPACTT Microbiome Analysis
Remarque : Toutes les heures sont affichées selon le fuseau horaire dans lequel l’événement a lieu.
Date: 5 - 7 juillet 2023
Microbes are everywhere and the study of microbiomes has become a multidisciplinary science involving microbiology, statistics, computer science, and molecular biology to elucidate the impact of microbes in various ecosystems, including the human body. Microbiomics, the study of microbes without first culturing and isolating the organisms, has become the principal approach to exploring the diversity, function and ecology of microbial communities. The CBW in collaboration with IMPACTT has developed a 3-day course providing an introduction to marker-gene analysis, metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data analysis followed by hands-on practical tutorials for each session to demonstrate the use of relevant bioinformatics and statistical tools. Modules will consist of lectures covering both theoretical and practical components followed by hands-on bioinformatic tutorials guided by instructors and teaching assistants.
City: Calgary
Région: Alberta
Country: Canada
Prerequisites:
You will require your own laptop computer. Minimum requirements: 1024×768 screen resolution, 2.4GHz CPU, 8GB RAM, 100GB free disk space, recent versions of Windows, Mac OS X or Linux (Most computers purchased in the past 3-4 years likely meet these requirements). This workshop requires participants to complete pre-workshop tasks and readings.
Learning objectives:
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 microbiome sequence data (marker-gene, shotgun metagenomic, and metatranscriptomic data) Apply appropriate statistics to undertake rigorous data analysis
Capacity: 30
