Microbiome marin : metagenomique et bioinformatique pour la biodiversite

Marine metagenomics is the study of genetic material recovered directly from the sea. It is a new and rapidly expanding area of research, and there is a danger that data is produced faster than users are able to share, analyze and interpret it. This workshop will provide marine microbiologists, who are embarking upon biodiversity and metagenomics research projects, training to use publicly available resources to manage, share, analyse and interpret amplicon based and metagenomics data and conduct metagenomics studies at large. Delegates will gain hands-on practice of using a range of data resources and tools, interspersed with lectures. The course will provide an opportunity for discussion of the major challenges in the field.
