Analysing genomic data from pathogens
As you may have noticed the majority of pathogen data available in these public resources is genomic data, such as raw sequencing reads or genome assemblies. This type of data requires downstream analysis using bioinformatics tools in order to investigate concepts like AMR.
In this section we will explore the steps involved in transforming sequencing data into assembled and annotated genomes, ready for analysis.
