Welcome to Introduction to Metagenomics Data Analysis¶

Macquarie University¶

11^th - 12^th July 2017¶

The Introduction to Metagenomics Data Analysis Workshop introduces tools and workflows used to explore amplicon and shotgun metagenomics sequence data.

Workshop Content¶

Topics covered by this workshop include:
• Amplicon target population structure using QIIME
• Whole metagenome shotgun processing using EMBL-EBI Metagenomics Portal
• Whole metagenome shotgun processing using open access software
• Quality control of metagenomic sequence data using FASTQC
• Gene and functional prediction using InterProScan
• Analysis and visualisation of results
• Detecting/Identifying enriched gene processes and functions (GO)

This workshop will be delivered using a mixture of lectures, hands-on practical sessions, and open discussions.
