Dear all, registrations are open for the 4th edition of the Environmental Metagenomics course. Dates: Online, 12-16 October Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/environmental-metagenomics/ Participants will learn how to explore microbial diversity and function in complex ecosystems, including those dominated by uncultured organisms. Special attention is given to recent advances that enable the reconstruction of genomes directly from environmental samples, providing unprecedented resolution of microbial communities. Through a combination of lectures and guided practical sessions, participants will gain experience with both read-based and assembly-based analytical strategies. We will use data from both short-read (e.g. Illumina) and long-read (e.g. Nanopore) sequencing platforms, as this combination dramatically improves the assembly and binning of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) compared to short-read-only methods.
