Description

This two-day hands-on workshop will introduce biologists to microbial genomics and transcriptomics. The primary focus will be on genome assembly and annotation, and subsequent transcriptome analysis, of bacteria.

We will be analyzing a stock data set, and we will be using the Amazon cloud.

Topics overview

  • Logging into the Amazon Cloud
  • Short read quality and trimming
  • Genome assembly (with SPAdes or MEGAHIT)
  • Genome annotation (with Prokka)
  • RNAseq analysis
  • Differential expression analysis

Computer requirements

Attendees will need to bring a computer with a Web browser, an Internet connection, and an ssh client; Windows users should install MobaXterm before the workshop.

I am an evolutionary biologist and a Professor at U. C. Davis. (see my lab site here). My research focuses on the origin of novelty (how new processes and functions originate). To study this I focus on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and using phylogenomic analysis
