We are pleased to announce that the de.NBI Summer School 2021 on Microbial Community Data Analysis will take place from October 4th to 8th, 2021.
The German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure (de.NBI) presents the Summer School on Microbial Community Data Analysis that is organized by the Bielefeld-Gießen (BiGi) Center for Microbial Bioinformatics. The BiGi center is specialized in the field of Omics data analysis for microbes and is well-known for its software platforms such as EMGB, MetaProtServ, or MGX. During the event, we will cover topics such as sequence data preprocessing, amplicon data analysis (metabarcoding), read- and assembly based metagenomics, and metaproteomics.
Program:
*All times refere to Central European Summer Time (CEST)! The program includes talks, lectures and hands-on trainings that the participants will conduct on their own computers/laptops.
