Microbiomics II: Metabarcoding - From Bioinformatics to Statistics
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:22:09
Abstract
This computer block course provides a thorough introduction to the application of next-generation sequencing techniques for analyzing diversity of microbial communities. Using a combination of theoretical lectures and hands-on computer exercises, the participants learn the computational steps from bioinformatic processing of sequencing reads down to the final statistical evaluations.
Objective
After the course, the participants will be able to 1) understand the concept, potential and limitation of microbial NGS applications 2) know how to process raw metabarcoding data to obtain meaningful information 3) use multivariate statistical methods evaluate and visualize microbial community data 4) make informed decisions on best practices for their own data
