Are you interested in genomics? Enrol in the new SCAYLE course "Ecology of Microbiomes"

The Castilla y León Supercomputing Centre (SCAYLE), a member of DIGIS3, is offering a new course at its facilities in the CRAI-TIC Building at the Vegazana Campus of the University of León. The course, "Ecology of Microbiomes: Metataxonomy Using the 16S Ribosomal Gene and Supercomputing", provides hands-on training combining Linux, Qiime2, and R to process, visualise, and extract information from microbiological data. With a practical focus, participants will be able to optimise their workflow and enhance result interpretation.

The course is aimed at researchers interested in genomic studies, professionals from the fields of computational sciences, biology and/or biotechnology related to genetic diagnostics, as well as postgraduate students, and anyone with an interest in the topic from both research and innovation/development perspectives.

Schedule, places, and enrolment

The course lasts for 36 hours, running from 19th to 23rd May 2025, Monday to Thursday from 08:30 to 14:00 and 15:30 to 18:30, with Friday's schedule from 08:30 to 14:30 to complete the course. Places are limited to 20, with a minimum attendance of 80% required to obtain the certificate of completion. Additionally, the course is worth 1.8 ECTS credits.

Thanks to 50% co-financing from the European Union, the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism, and the EOI Foundation of the Spanish Government, the course fee is €225. Registration is open until 12th May, one week before the course begins. Upon completion, thanks to funding from DIGIS3, SCAYLE will offer free access to HPC resources for the following month. Registration, detailed content, and the teaching staff can be found via this link.
