The Microbiome: Ecology & Analysis

Credit: 3 hours.

Students will explore the mechanisms through which the microbiome contributes to health and will become familiar with the molecular, computational, and statistical tools and methodologies used to interrogate microbiome function and composition. In the accompanying lab, students will use command line tools and R locally and in a high-performance compute environment to quality control, annotate, analyze, and visualize shotgun metagenomic and amplicon (16S rRNA gene) datasets.

Prerequisite: A working knowledge of microbiology, genetics, and statistics is recommended. Consent of the instructor is required.
