Welcome to the Metagenomics Workshop in Uppsala

This is a one day metagenomics workshop. We will discuss quality checking, assembly, taxonomic classification, binning and annotation of metagenomic samples. The workshop is developed by the Environmental Genomics group at KTH / SciLifeLab.

Here is a link to the official homepage for the SciLifeLab workshop in metagenomics.

A presentation for this workshop is available here.
