Next iteration of this course will be May 2025
This is an advanced R course on 16S amplicon based metagenomic analysis. It is designed for master students in their second semester or above. The course consists of a practical and a seminar. The seminar will cover topics related to plant microbe interactions, community ecology, analysis of sequencing data, and ecological concepts.
In the practical you will be handed a dataset from a large experiment. You will learn how to deal with short read data in R, how to infer amplicon variants and how to assign amplicon variants to a taxonomic unit. You will then proceed to further analyzing microbial communities using more advanced statistics to draw ecologically meaningful conclusions. Finally, you will interpret and discuss your results with the other members of the course.
The course has been designed for remote-learning and has previously been online-only, however the seminar benefits from in-person discussion, and will be held in person.
