🦴 Ancient metagenomics applies cutting-edge metagenomic methods to the degraded DNA content of archaeological and paleontological specimens. As the field grows, the techniques, methods, and workflows used to analyse such data are rapidly changing and improving.
👨💻 This hands-on summer school covers the main steps of ancient metagenomic bioinformatic workflows, familiarising students with the command line, how to process NGS data, all the way to performing de novo metagenomic assembly. 🧵[2/3]
📜 By the end, participants will understanding of how to carry out the major bioinformatic components of an ancient metagenomic project in an open and transparent manner. Attendees are eligible for ECTS points and a certificate of completion
👩🏾🎓 The course is for masters students and early-stage PhD students.
📅 Application deadline: May 30st 2025 To apply, visit our website: https://spaam-community.org/wss-summer-school/
