Practical use case of FRCE cluster utilities: Exploring the metagenome of 794 lichen holobionts

About this Class

Crunching of large data requires large resources. Exploration of holobiont metagenomes is considered a “big data” project and here I’ll be describing how I used the FRCE cluster to explore 794 metagenomes simultaneously to assess the biosynthetic capacity associated with lichens. This presentation will focus more on computational tools and techniques used to solve metagenomic problems. This presentation is aimed at beginner to intermediate users. A basic understanding of Bash and Slurm would be beneficial but not vital. This will be a hybrid event. This session will be recorded, and materials will be posted on the ABCS training site and also shared with attendees a few days after the event.
