Omics technology workshops

Lemeng Dong is organizing a series of workshops primarily related to RNAseq, metabolomics and metagenomics/metabarcoding. We started with just a few PhD students, now have quite a few of the other MiCRop PhD students involved, and it seems a lot of people are interested in learning more about these techniques. The idea is to help each other with data analysis and to stay informed and up-to-date on technologies and tools.

If you are interested in a certain technique, and can tell your fellow students about it or know somebody who can, please don’t hesitate to contact Lemeng. It doesn’t have to be an entire pipeline, but can also be a small but efficient function or method you discovered, eg, make a smart correlation, make a boxplot, arrange a data table, or a specific statistical analysis. We will appreciate whatever you share with us.

There is no pressure on the teachers; your talk doesn’t need to be perfect and can be short, we can use this opportunity to discuss things, learn small things. We hope the pace will be slow and suitable for real beginners.

We meet on Friday 10:00-12:00 biweekly via Zoom. Please let me know if you want to be in our list or if you think somebody would be interested to join. Then you can contact Lemeng Dong (l.dong2@uva.nl), and explain your motivation. I will send you an invitation.
