Comparative Functional Analysis Workshop

In this workshop we will do a comparative analysis of several Baltic Sea samples on function. The following topics will be discussed:

• Find genes on a coassembly of all samples using Prodigal
• Classify the found genes with similar function in Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COG) using WebMGA
• Compare the expression of the different COG families and classes by looking at their coverage in different samples using R

The workshop has the following exercises:

1. Gene Finding Exercise
2. COG Exercise
3. Comprative Functional Analysis Exercise

Contents:

• Gene finding
• Functional annotation
• Determine gene coverage in metagenomic samples
• Comparative functional analysis with R
