This is an archive containing training materials for the H3ABioNet course: “Analysing the Microbiome 29th to 31st March 2017”.

Brief description of the course:

The development of next generation sequence technology has led to rapid advances in microbiome study. The Sydney Brenner Institute for Molecular Bioscience with support from the Pan-African Bioinformatics Network for H3Africa will be offering a short-course on the bioinformatics of analysing the microbiome. The course will give an overview of conducting a microbiome study, present some of the most important techniques, and will include some hands-on use of some the key tools. The course will cover analysis both using both 16S RNA gene sequences and shotgun sequencing

Participation: The workshop was aimed at individuals of research groups within the University of the Witwatersrand and associated Institutions, AWI-Gen and H3Africa members that will be working on analysing microbiome data.
