Taking the step from running experiments in the wet lab, and generating samples, to analyzing your own 16S Amplicon sequencing data can be quite daunting. Thus, in this workshop, we aim to introduce you to Qiita, a microbial study management platform used to manage and compute studies with 16S microbiome data. This framework establishes an easily accessible way for non-computational scientists...

6. Workshop 2: Running microbiome analyses on CloWM

High-throughput sequencing has made metagenomics routine, but turning raw reads into biologically meaningful insights still requires considerable computational expertise, and resources. NFDI4Microbiota’s Cloud-based Workflow Manager (CloWM) aims to lower this barrier by providing end-to-end metagenomic analyses in the cloud, empowering researchers to focus on biology rather than infrastructure...
