Join whichever time is most convenient and learn about:

  • Amplicon sequencing approaches

    • Targeted Illumina based V1-V3 or V3-V4 short amplicons

    • Full length Pacbio/Oxford Nanopore based amplicons

    • Libraries, kits, reactions, read length, and coverage considerations

  • Denoising Amplicon Sequencing Samples

  • Taxonomy and Phylogenetic Analysis (OTUs or ASVs)

  • Principal Coordinates Analysis (MDS, NMDS, Bray-Curtis, UniFrac, Jaccard)

  • Richness Estimates (Chao1, ACE, Shannon, Simpson etc)

  • Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) with LEfSe computations

  • ERGO’s integrated Metagenome Analysis and Visualization Tools

  • and much more!
