Breve descrizione
The course is a methodological introduction to amplicon-based surveys using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platforms. When applied to environmental samples, such surveys can represent a powerful tool for taxonomic and functional studies tool in ecological disciplines.
Detailed contents:
1) theoretical introduction;
2) DNA extraction from environmental matrices and preparation of amplicon libraries for NGS;
3) sequence analysis from NGS through bioinformatics tools (Bio-Linux environment).
Evaluation: NO
