MIP545-Microbial Metagenomics/Genomics Data Analysis. This course introduces students to Next Generation Genomics and Metagenomics Sequence Data and tools to manipulate and analyze these data. This course provides a hands-on experience for students to pre-process, manipulate and analyze high throughput sequencing data using Linux based tools such as trimmomatic, microbiome pre-processing tools such as mothur, microbial genomics assembly tools such as Tychus (software developed in my lab), metagenomics assembly and classification tools such as Kraken and the statistical software R.
