EMBO practical course – Microbial ecology: Hands-on training in prokaryotic and eukaryotic metagenomics
The 9th International Course in Microbial Ecology (ICME9), entitled “Microbial ecology: Hands-on training in prokaryotic and eukaryotic metagenomics” took place from 2 to 7 September 2018 at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Belgium. It was awarded as EMBO-Practical courses and received the financial support of EMBO.
The course focused on next generation sequencing datasets and relative analyses for the study of the communities of microorganisms. Under the guide of experienced international researchers, participants learned all the computer-based steps of a typical metagenomic pipeline and how to handle large datasets, assemble and annotate sequences. Beginners participants were introduced to Linux-command shell and main command line. Here the Full programme.
