Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
With the breakthrough of next generation DNA sequencing methods and their application to environmental samples, metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequences have indelibly expanded the known DNA and protein sequence space to non-culturable micro-organisms and environmental communities. This practical seminar introduces the major computational methods necessary to process, analyse and interpret these sequences.
Assessment and permitted materials
Oral exam or presentation.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Participants learn in this practical seminar how to pre-process environmental sequences (i.e. estimation and correction of sequencing errors), how to estimate taxonomic diversity in metagenomic and metatranscriptomic samples and how to investigate the function and taxonomy of environmental sequences.
Examination topics
This practical seminar will consist of theoretical (lecture like) introductions to the topics, discussion of selected scientific papers and practical exercises in the computer room.
