Metagenomics

This course dives into microbiome research, teaching you how to analyze 16S rRNA and shotgun sequencing data. You’ll learn to identify microbial communities, estimate their abundance, and analyze their functional roles in health and disease.

What You will Learn

  • Process 16S rRNA and shotgun metagenomics data.
  • Perform taxonomic classification and abundance estimation.
  • Analyze microbial diversity and composition.
  • Conduct functional analysis of microbial communities.
  • Generate automated reports for microbiome insights.

Who Should Enroll

Microbiologists, ecologists, and researchers interested in microbiome analysis and its applications in health and disease.

Tools Covered

  • Mothur and QIIME (16S rRNA analysis)
  • Kraken and Bracken (taxonomic classification)
  • MetaPhlAn (functional analysis)
  • R and Python for data visualization
