Cloud-SPAN is a collaboration between the Department of Biology, University of York and The Software Sustainability Institute funded by the UKRI innovation scholars award (Project Reference: MR/V038680/1) which trains researchers, and the research software engineers that support them, to run specialised analyses on cloud-based high-performance computing infrastructure
The site infrastructure is based on The Carpentries.
This course teaches data analysis for metagenomics projects. It covers how to:
- generate and QC a metagenome assembly
- ‘bin’ the assembly into metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) also known as bins
- identify the taxonomy of these MAGs.
- calculate diversity metrics and add functional annotation to identify the products of genes identified in the assembled MAGs.
