Attendees must supply their own charged laptop with access to the internet/wifi and with the following software preinstalled:- Windows users: A terminal emulator such as PuTTY (free and open-source) will need to be downloaded.
- Software for file transfers between a local computer and remote server such as WinSCP or FileZilla.
- Mac users: No additional software needs to be installed for this workshop.
Workshop Outline
This workshop will give you an introduction to the QIIME2 analysis platform using 16S rRNA amplicon data from coral-associated bacteria. Topics covered include:- importing, cleaning and quality control of the data
- taxonomic analysis
- building a phylogenetic tree
- basic visualisations and statistics.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the workshop you should be able to:- take raw data from a sequencing facility and end with publication quality graphics and statistics
- answer the question “What is the influence of genotype (intrinsic) and environment (extrinsic) on anemone-associated bacterial communities?”
