Learn about the tools, processes, and analysis approaches used by MGnify in the field of genome-resolved metagenomics.

This course will cover the use of publicly available resources to manage, share, analyse, and interpret metagenomics data, focussing primarily on the assembly-based approaches used in MGnify analysis.

The delivered content will involve participants learning via live lectures and presentations, followed by live Q&As with the trainers. Practical experience will be developed in group activities and in computational exercises run using containerised tools on our training infrastructure.

This course is aimed at life scientists who are working in, or transitioning into the field of metagenomics and are currently in the early stages of data analysis. Participants should have some prior experience of using bioinformatics in their research.

The practical sessions in the course require a basic understanding of the Unix command line.

Applications for this course close on 25 June 2023.
