Overview of Big Data Repositories for Metagenomics Data Analysis

Metagenomics is a relatively new field of research based on high-throughput sequencing (or Next Generation Sequencing) and its popularity signifies a growing appreciation for the composition of microbial communities (microbiomes) and the genetic information their genomes carry. Metagenomics allows us to study the microbiome in its natural environment and learn about the cooperative and often symbiotic relationships between prokaryotes, eukaryotes, viruses, and archaea.

In this Omics Logic Metagenomics Specialization, we will explore how different types of analysis can be used to understand the microbial world. We will cover several bioinformatics approaches to the analysis of the microbiome. We will learn to compare microbial composition in different conditions, learn about the sequencing of viral samples and discuss how microbes evade the immune response of the host as well as evade treatment. We will do so in the context of several projects taken from high-impact publications.

ABOUT OUR CHANNEL

Our channel is about bioinformatics and its application to various biomedical and biotechnology challenges. We cover lots of cool topics on data analysis, machine learning, and various technologies that generate high-throughput data like genomics, transcriptomics, metagenomics, epigenomics, and others.
