The iBioGen team is organising its second workshop on "Theory and practice in metabarcoding for biodiversity", which is a follow-up of the previous workshop that took place in Cyprus in October 2019.

Metagenomic methods continue to transform the analysis of biodiversity and provide exciting possibilities for studying the vast proportion of ‘hidden diversity’ of species hardly known to science. Massive amplicon datasets can be generated from complex specimen mixtures, and simplify studies of the ecology, evolution and conservation for ever more populations and species with high accuracy. However, data processing and interpretation require careful application of bioinformatics pipelines, to generate ‘clean’ data that reflect the true genetic variants required for use in evolutionary and ecological modelling. The course will teach the required bioinformatics and data handling skills, with focus on the potential of metabarcode sequences as a resource in biodiversity studies, taxonomy and population genetics.

For more information follow the link to the iBioGen workshop website: https://www.metagenecol.eu/
Note that, since the course is organised under the Horizon 2020 Twinning funding scheme, participants are not required to pay any course fees.

Also, due to Covid-19 pandemic restrictions, the workshop will be conducted online.
