01 - Introduction to Metagenomics

This course is going to introduce you to bioinformatics analysis of metagenomic sequencing data. In this first session, we will start by speaking about genomic sequencing technologies, as one of the methods to study microbes, and map out how such data can be used. Then, we will introduce you to several data analysis tools for metagenomics studies and see a few examples where such analysis approaches have been used.

There you will find
- an Introduction to Metagenomics (in the Bytes and Molecules Course)
- a full course on analysis of 16s Metagenomics sequencing and
- a program led by experienced mentors that can help you develop practical skills to analyze metagenomic sequencing data (see more below)

OmicsLogic Metagenomics:
Metagenomics is the study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples (such as soil or water samples). Metagenomic sequencing allows researchers to comprehensively sample all genes in all organisms present in a given complex sample. The omics Logic Metagenomics training is designed to introduce key topics and help you develop practical skills for analysis. In this training, you will learn about the applications, technologies and practical analysis skills needed to extract meaningful research insights from metagenomic data.

The program will cover:
✅NGS: 16s metagenomics sequencing
✅Microbiome-functional bacterial community - Ribosomal RNA
✅Hypervariable regions (HVRs)
✅Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs)
✅Mapping short reads on reference databases
✅DADA2 pipeline for amplicon sequencing
✅Viral genome detection in metagenomic data
✅Evolution, fitness, and quasi-species.
