Training courses & workshops
We are involved in educating fellow researchers in bioinformatics practices, especially with regards to Microbiome Analyses and RNA secondary structure. Please find a list of past or current curses we offer.
The microbiome is the ecological community of commensal, symbiotic and pathogenic microorganisms found in and on all multicellular organisms from plants to animals. It has been found to be crucial for immunologic, hormonal and metabolic homeostasis of its host. In this workshop, we aim to not only introduce you to the all the necessary basic methods to analyse a microbiome experiment, like processing your raw data, statistical testing and quality control. Additionally, we want to introduce you to Qiita, a microbial study management platform used to manage and compute studies with microbiome data. This framework establishes an easily accessible way for non-computational scientists to analyse their own data with the option of using pre-defined workflows or building their own. Afterwards, we will explore the microbiome analysis pipeline QIIME2 to delve further into our data sets and to enable you to be able to take your first steps towards your own analysis.
