NFDI4Microbiota and de.NBI 16S amplicon training course (Oct 8th-10th 2024)

The microbiome is the ecological community of commensal, symbiotic and pathogenic microorganisms found in and on all multicellular organisms from plants to animals. It has been found to be crucial for immunologic, hormonal and metabolic homeostasis of its host. In this workshop, we aim to not only introduce you to the all the necessary basic methods to analyse a microbiome experiment, like processing your raw data, statistical testing and quality control. Additionally, we want to introduce you to Qiita, a microbial study management platform used to manage and compute studies with microbiome data. This framework establishes an easily accessible way for non-computational scientists to analyse their own data with the option of using pre-defined workflows or building their own. Afterwards, we will explore the microbiome analysis pipeline QIIME2 to delve further into our data sets and to enable you to be able to take your first steps towards your own analysis.

!Construction Site!

Should you arrive via bus (lines 3 or 10 or 13, stop: "Arndtstraße"), please be aware of a construction site that is currently blocking the direct way to our building. You need to follow the pink path (there are some but not all necessary redirections signs). Go downhill, make a right turn, enter the parking lot, cross the lot diagonally and leave through a silver gate. You now are in front of our ugly, tall building, surrounded by a construction fence. Go uphill until you can make a left turn. Go down again until you see the sliding glass door entry of the "north" entry. The next room to your right is our meeting location. See you soon!
