Overview
Key facts
However, many microbiologists shy away from this area, feeling that extensive skills in bioinformatics are required to analyse such data.This 5-day, hands-on course is designed to provide microbiologists with the ability to perform high-level analysis of microbial genomic data sets, regardless of background knowledge or ability. A mixture of seminars from world leading researchers, discussion fora and guided training will provide participants with the skills and knowledge required to plan, design, and analyse data from microbial genomics-based investigations.
University of Birmingham's Analysing Microbial Genomic Data programme will teach you more about this topic.

Other requirements
General requirements
The course is designed for anyone with an interest in analysing microbial genomic data. No prior knowledge of bioinformatics is required, though participants will be asked to work through an online tutorial on using the command line prior to the course. All participants will be proficient in data analysis by the end of the course. We encourage PhD students, post-doctoral researchers, research fellows and early-career PIs, and clinical and public health microbiologists to attend.
