Strategies and Techniques for Analyzing Microbial Population Structures
Course - Woods Hole, MA, United States
Lectures by experts in the analysis of molecular datasets and hands-on tutorials in use of computational packages by their designers; emphasizes discussion and the exchange of ideas between faculty and students.
Topics to be covered include but are not limited to next-generation strategies for analysis of microbial communities; acquisition and organization of next generation sequence data; principles of quality control of sequence data; the theory of cluster and rarefaction analyses; taxonomic assignments for high-throughput data; statistical models for estimating microbial diversity; microbial community comparison methodology and metrics; and analysis of shotgun metagenomic data. The lectures will be augmented by a computer laboratory where students will have the opportunity to use state of the art facilities to test theoretical concepts described in the lectures series. Guided by authors of ARB, CatchAll, Esprit, Mothur, Pyronoise, RDP, Silva, UClust, and Pyronoise for cluster analyses; mother, QIIME, Unifrac, and VAMPS for community analysis; and METAREP and MG-RAST for shotgun metagenomics analysis, participants in the workshop will have the opportunity to compare different analysis techniques for molecular data.
