MultiOmics for Beginners: Exploring Big Data

Description

Are you interested in learning about analysis of big data sets? This summer course welcomes undergraduate students, PhD students and researchers willing to learn the basic principles of the analysis of output data from different ‘Omic’ technologies – Genomics, Metagenomics, Transcriptomics and Metabolomics. During this 5-day course you will be introduced to how MultiOmics works, including the presentation of invited experts and their case-studies. This short course (20 hours) will cover the following topics:

1. Let’s start – Basics and Phylogenetics- Brief introduction to the basic concepts related to the “omics”; Who is who in my samples? Basics in phylogeny; Tools for creating Phylogenetic trees.
