About this Event
Uncovering and understanding the fantastic microbes that surround us through metagenomic data analysis
Hands-on workshop led by the KBase team for university students introducing KBase (https://www.kbase.us/)for metagenomic analysis, from raw sequencing data to high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). Participants will learn data QC, assembly, binning, functional and taxonomic annotation, and will interpret and present their results.
