QIAGEN CLC Microbial Genomics Module provides tools and workflows for a broad range of bioinformatics applications, including microbiome analysis, isolate characterization, functional metagenomics and antimicrobial resistance characterization. The module supports the analysis of bacterial, viral and eukaryotic (fungal) genomes and metagenomes.
This training will be focused on amplicon-based taxonomic profiling (16S/18S/ITS sequencing OTU clustering). The trainer will cover:
Overview of different tools within QIAGEN CLC Microbial Genomics Module and supported research areas
For taxonomic profiling:
Importing data
Utilization of metadata
Downloading and managing references
Walk through of OTU clustering workflow (analytical pipeline)
Downstream processing of abundance tables
Creating and exporting high-quality graphics
