General information
The OSD Analysis Workshop/Jamboree will take place on the 9-13th March 2015 at the EBI Training Centre in Cambridge, UK.
The jamboree will bring together OSD participants and members of the OSD Analysis Core Team with the aim of transforming the OSD primary analysis results into biological and ecological meaning. Participants will gain hands-on experience of using several approaches for the analysis of marine metagenomics data obtained as part of the MicroB3 project. Additionally there will be the opportunity for knowledge exchange and the exploration of current challenges and developments in the field. Click here for a tentative program.
Organizers:
Laura Emery, EMBL-EBI, UK
Frank Oliver Glöckner, Jacobs University, Germany
After this course you should be able to:
- Identify data with the minimum standards required for submission to comply with the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC).
- Submit metagenomics data to public repositories (both amplicons & metagenomes).
- Apply bioinformatics techniques to integrate ecological and contextual data.
- Use bioinformatics tools to analyse OSD data.
- Interpret results to uncover new biological meaning.

Prerequisites:
This course for partners of the Micro B3 project with metagenomics sequence data obtained from OSD in June 2014. The course assumes basic experience in sequence data analysis. Some of the tools to be introduced on the course will require the use of Linux/Unix commands and the R statistics package. We strongly recommend that you familiarise yourself with these.
