Description / Summary:
This training material introduces taxonomic profiling of microbial communities based on high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing data. It covers the fundamental concepts and practical steps required to process sequencing data, assign taxonomy, and interpret community composition. The workflow highlights commonly used methods and tools for 16S-based microbial community analysis and supports reproducible analyses on de.NBI infrastructure.
Level:
Beginner
Target audience:
Students and life scientists who want to learn the basics of microbial community analysis using 16S rRNA sequencing and who have little or no prior experience in bioinformatics or microbiome data analysis.
