THE INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON THE INTESTINAL MICROBIOME

Workshop Details

Workshop Overview

Sequencing is a widely used technique in microbiome research, leading to metagenomics, which allows not only the identification of microbial composition but also the understanding of functional mechanisms.

PacBio is an emerging long-read sequencing platform in metagenomics, recognized for its high efficiency.

This workshop offers participants a comprehensive hands-on training on microbiome sequencing using the PacBio platform, followed by sequence processing and bioinformatics analysis.
