This five day course, hosted jointly by the PDF flyer and  German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure (de.NBI), will broach the issues of targeted (16S rRNA operon gene amplicons) and untargeted (whole-genome shotgun; WGS) metagenome analysis based on high throughput next-generation sequencing (NGS) data from microbial communities. 

  Date: August the 29th - September the 2nd, 2016 
  Location: Bielefeld University, Universitätsstr. 25, 33615 Bielefeld
  Venue: Main building (UHG) V0-133

The participants learn about the basics of metagenome analysis and gain understanding of the possibilities and limitations of metagenome sequencing and analysis. The format will comprise a mixture of lectures and hands-on tutorials by experts in the fields where students will process example data sets in real-time.
