About this Course

Metatranscriptomics is the exploration of microbial gene expression, identifying microbes that are alive and performing essential activities in your environment of interest. In this two-part webinar, we will explore how metatranscriptomics can lead to new scientific discoveries, including the benefits and barriers to adoption. We’ll also explore the user-friendly Nephele platform, which makes the bioinformatics analysis easy and accessible for anyone hoping to apply metatranscriptomics in their studies.

Prerequisites:  To participate in this hands-on workshop, attendees will need to register for a Nephele account prior to "Part 2: Practical Analysis with Nephele" at  https://nephele.niaid.nih.gov/register.
 
Description

Learn the core concepts of metatranscriptomics and discover how microbial gene expression data can be used to identify active microorganisms, understand community function, and address biological research questions.

This is part 1 of a two-day workshop presented by the Nephele Team, an interdisciplinary group with the Bioinformatics and Computational Biosciences Branch (BCBB) of the NIAID Office of Cyber Infrastructure and Computational Biology (OCICB) in the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).Read More
