Content
Participants of the MOTI course will be introduced into the field of metabarcoding of trophic interactions research with a special focus on NGS data processing and evaluation. Participants will get an overview on the current NGS technologies, the set up-of NGS-based DNA analyses and practically train the processing of NGS data sets.
This course will be taught in English.
Target Group
Graduate students as well as postdoctoral researchers and technicians who wish to use next generation sequencing (NGS) techniques for their studies of trophic interactions and want to understand the bioinformatics tools for the processing of NGS data.
The course provides a methodological introduction and a hands-on training in bioinformatic analyses for beginners in the field of targeted amplicon sequencing. It aims at providing you with a basic understanding of the bioinformatic steps needed to process metabarcoding data.
A maximum of 20 participants will be allowed for the course. A first come, first served basis applies.
