2022 EMSL Summer School
July 18 - 21, 2022

Overview

Sessions focus on advanced visualization, analysis, and modeling tools for soil analysis. Seminars also covered the National Microbiome Data Collaborative (NMDC) project.

 

EMSL Summer School 2022, Day One: Introductions, Orientations, and Metadata with the NMDC

Day one presentations cover introductions to Summer School, EMSL's national Molecular Observation Network (MONet) project, and DOE's National Microbiome Data Collaborative (NMDC) project.

Introduction to EMSL's Molecular Observation Network Project

Advancing Microbiome Research with the National Microbiome Data Collaborative

The National Microbiome Data Collaborative Metadata Standards

EMSL Summer School 2022, Day Two: Know Your Metagenome

Day two presentations cover workflow for processing metagenomic data and data structures for metagenome assembly, gene cells, and annotation.
