What will you learn in this course?
This course is designed to provide you with the necessary tools for the analysis of data from Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques, with a specific focus on their application to the metagenomic study of samples from different environments. Among the main contents, you will learn to:
- Analyse next-generation sequencing data.
- Apply supercomputing techniques for the collection and assembly of sequenced DNA fragments.
- Perform subsequent annotation and analysis of the data obtained.
- Use advanced tools and methodologies in metagenomic studies applied to different environments.
As part of this course, you will also gain 1.8 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits, endorsed by the University of León.
Why should you participate?
- Hands-on experience: Our course gives you the opportunity to learn from experts in the field and participate in practical workshops that will allow you to apply what you learn immediately.
- Cutting-edge technology: You will use supercomputing tools to tackle some of the most complex problems in metagenomics research.
- Limited places: The exclusivity of the course ensures more personalised and focused learning.
