In the Further learning section you may explore the details about the EMBL-EBI’s free access online tutorials and webinars on a variety of life sciences topics.


Learning outcomes

After the course you should be able to:

  • Conduct appropriate quality control and decontamination of metagenomic data and run simple assembly pipelines on short-read data
  • Utilise public datasets and resources such as MGnify to identify relevant data for analysis
  • Apply relevant tools in the analysis of metagenomic data
  • Submit metagenomic data to online repositories for sharing and future analysis
  • Apply knowledge in downstream functional and taxonomic analysis
