Online Metabarcoding Course - March 6 to 31, 2023

DNA bar code sequence

It is time again for my online Metabarcoding course:

This course provides an overview of the state of current technology and the various sequencing platforms used. It consists of a series of online lectures and research exercises and will go over 4 weeks but is designed in a fashion that you can go through course content at your own pace and according to your own schedule with work worth 4-8h per week. The course is fully asynchronous to accommodate for participants from various time zones. We still strive to make it as interactive as possible.

I have updated course content to include the newest HTS technology and methods such as metagenomics and transcriptomics. 

Throughout the course, we will explore:

  • High throughput sequencing
  • Metabarcoding/Metagenomics
  • Metabarcoding analytics
  • Recent applications
The course consists of a series of online lectures, research exercises, and group discussions where you have a chance to review the state of current technology, the various platforms used and the suite of bioinformatics tools available for sequence analysis and data interpretation.
