Introduction to Metagenomics for Researchers

In this screencast, I discuss why we should care about microbiomes and what is metagenomics more generally. I also talk about computational methods for analysis, and look at the nature of metagenomics data and how it differs from other types of data.

Many of the slides in this talk are adapted from slides prepared by Curtis Huttenhower at Harvard (http://huttenhower.sph.harvard.edu/) and are re-used here with attribution.

If you or your group are interested in getting help with analysis of metagenomics data, the Iowa Institute of Human Genetics, Bioinformatics Division can help! Visit our webpage:
