Module 3 / Basic Computational Skills in Metataxonomy for Microbial Diversity Exploration

The course is addressed to students and professionals of biology, biomedical
research, the health sciences and related fields who are interested in learning the
basic computational skills required to pursue their own genomic analyses. The
module will be eminently practical and hands-on and will teach participants skills
ranging from the installation and basic use of Linux systems to the building of
analysis pipelines for microbial genomics. Theoretical lectures and practical
hands-on sessions will be taught by Fisabio researchers and informaticians.
