During the course, participants will receive an overview of state-of-the-art genomic technologies and bioinformatic tools. A balanced approach of lectures and practical sessions will provide a general background and the latest advancements in the field as well as its relationship with other disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course will start with training the participants about experimental design and the preparation of their own metagenomic libraries with soil or their (environmental) samples. The metagenomic DNA will be sequenced onsite using third generation sequencing technologies and subsequent data analysis. Thus, the students have a unique opportunity to work on the complete workflow from sample preparation to data analysis. This updated course version will also address cutting-edge single-cell microbial genomics during practical. Bioinformatics analysis is a key part of the course, where students will learn how to process data from raw sequences to the application of algorithms for analysing metagenomic datasets. Trainers will provide short lectures with follow-up hands-on exercises in order to have the participants learning and assessing their knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This course is aimed at advanced PhD students and post-doctoral researchers who are doing or planning to start research in the field of metagenomics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modules\/resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Experimental design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extraction of metagenomic DNA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Construction of metagenomic libraries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Single-cell microbial genomics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3rd generation sequencing (Nanopore)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bioinformatic analysis of metagenomic data: data standards and submission, processing of raw data, assembly, functional annotation, overview of databases, retrieval and analysis tools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning outcomes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Construct your own metagenomic library<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Analyse and organise your data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interpret results, explore different databases, use different retrieval and analysis tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sequence analysis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What past participants say about the course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;This course gave me the opportunity to learn from my coursemates and understand the software used in metagenomics.

Scanned copies cannot be accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Childcare grant (EMBO Practical Courses only)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For EMBO Practical Course participants with children, there is the possibility to apply for a childcare grant to offset child care costs incurred by participants or speakers when participating at a course. Eligible costs include fees for a babysitter or child-care facility, travel costs for a caregiver, or travel costs for taking the child to the meeting etc. Please note that priority will be given to early-stage researchers. A maximum amount of \u20ac500 can be awarded per participant applying for an EMBO childcare grant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds travel grant<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Applies to selected courses only.

The grant is restricted to PhD students and postdocs who conduct basic biomedical research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are eligible to apply for a travel grant, depends on when you received your university entrance qualification (e.g. Abitur, A-Levels, High School Diploma, Final State Examination):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; for PhD and MD students, as well as graduates, the university entrance qualification must not have been obtained more than 11 years ago at the time of the envisaged course<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; for postdocs, the university entrance qualification must not have been obtained more than 13 years ago at the time of the envisaged course<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Application<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may apply for financial assistance when submitting your motivation letter for courses.

Application for financial support will not affect the outcome of your registration application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds Travel Grant, there is a pre-application question during the motivation letter submission process, and if selected you will be requested to complete a standard form and documentation consisting of your travel expense estimation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Selection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The scientific organisers will select the recipients of all financial assistance during the motivation letter selection process. Results will be announced approximately 6-8 weeks before the event start date, however for some events this may be delayed. Selection results do not impact your admission to the course. Selection is based on scientific merit, your current work or study location, the reasons for needing financial support, and the impact this event will have on your career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reimbursement<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Costs will be reimbursed after the meeting only once a reimbursement form and original receipts (from travel costs) have been received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Further details<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>See our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/course-and-conference-office\/information-for-participants\/external-funding-sources\/\">list of external funding opportunities<\/a> and for further information about financial assistance please refer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/course-and-conference-office\/information-for-participants\/frequently-asked-questions\/#FAQ_financialassistance\">FAQ page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details  class=\"vf-details\" id=\"\"  >\n<summary class=\"vf-details--summary\">\nAccommodation and shuttles<\/summary>\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hotel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Accommodation has been pre-booked for you at the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/isg-hotel.de\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">ISG Hotel<\/a> for the default dates of 16 April to 24 April 2023 (9 nights).
