Past Training
Virtual
The South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity (SAIAB), in collaboration with DIPLOMICS, ran a training workshop aimed at upskilling researchers interested in Microbiome 16S rRNA metabarcoding research. The training focused on bacterial 16S rRNA metabarcoding; however, the fundamental techniques learned could be applied to other organisms and marker genes.
The training was held virtually and covered the following topics:
Understanding the mechanisms and chemistry behind Next Generation Sequencing technologies used in microbiome studies
General considerations in the design of sampling protocols and experimental approaches
Generating metabarcoding libraries and multiplexing
Dataset curation
Generation of OTUs (Operational taxonomic units)
Classification of sequence reads
Data analyses: Species diversity indices, NMDS, PCoA (using R)
Microbiome Metabarcoding Data Analysis
General Omics
27 - 31 July
