Practical Bioinformatics Workshop
Seminar 5, was organized by Aalborg University and the University of Warsaw, from the 7th to 9th of September 2021. The workshop was organized online running on a webinar mode.
This webinar, organized under the scope of the REPARES project, had the presence of students (degree, master and Ph.D.), researchers, and professors. The webinar started with a short presentation of the two organizing groups by the coordinators Per Halkjær Nielsen and Lukasz Dziewit, followed by mainly practical hands-on sessions but also lectures.
The participants learned all the steps and different methods involved from sequencing bacteria, to assembly, and annotation of genomes. Additionally, they also learned different strategies for searching for ARGs or other genes of interest in metagenomic datasets which was very valuable.
