日本のMicrobial Genomicsトレーニング

Microbial genomics and metagenomics combine sequencing technologies and computational analysis to profile microbial communities, characterize genomes, and detect functional traits such as antimicrobial resistance.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level to intermediate-level researchers and bioinformaticians who wish to perform hands-on analysis of microbial genomics and metagenomic sequencing data.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Describe common sequencing workflows and key file formats used in microbial genomics.
• Perform quality control and preprocessing of raw NGS reads.
• Carry out taxonomic profiling using marker-based and k-mer approaches.
• Assemble and annotate microbial genomes and plasmids.
• Detect SNPs, build phylogenies, and interpret population structure.
• Predict antimicrobial resistance genes and summarize functional profiles.
• Use reproducible workflows with Conda, Docker, and notebook-based reports.

Format of the Course

• Lectures introducing concepts and tools (20%).
• Hands-on practical sessions using example datasets (60%).
• Open discussions and guided analysis so participants can apply methods to their data (20%).
