What will you learn in this course?
This course is designed to provide you with the tools and training needed for the sequencing and analysis of data from nanopore sequencing techniques using the Oxford Nanopore technology, with a particular focus on its application to the metagenomic study of samples from diverse environments. Among the main contents, you will learn:
- DNA extraction from a sample and how to perform sequencing on an ONT machine.
- Apply supercomputing techniques for the collection and assembly of sequenced DNA fragments.
- Perform the analysis of the provided sample, including the determination of the taxa and genes present, and their abundance.
- Statistical techniques best suited for the comparison of the data resulting from the analysis.
As part of this course, you will also receive 1.8 ECTS credits from the University of León.
