Comment: What is a Learning Pathway?
A graphic depicting a winding path from a start symbol to a trophy, with tutorials along the way
We recommend you follow the tutorials in the order presented on this page. They have been selected to fit together and build up your knowledge step by step. If a lesson has both slides and a tutorial, we recommend you start with the slides, then proceed with the tutorial.

This learning path aims to teach you the basics of Galaxy and analysis of metagenomics data. You will learn how to use Galaxy for analysis, and will be guided through the common steps of microbiome data analysis: quality control, taxonomic profiling, taxonomic binning, assembly, functional profiling, and also some applications

Module 1: Introduction to metagenomics

Why study the microbiome? What are the different approaches for metagenomics? This module will give you a short introduction to metagenomics.

Lesson Slides Hands-on Recordings
Introduction to Microbiome Analysis

Module 2: Introduction to Galaxy

Get a first look at the Galaxy platform for data analysis. We start with a short introduction (video slides & practical) to familiarize you with the Galaxy interface, and then proceed with a slightly longer introduction tutorials where you perform a first, very simple, analysis.

Module 3: Quality control

When analysing sequencing data, you should always start with a quality control step to clean your data and make sure your data is good enough to answer your research question.

Quality Control

Module 4: Assembly

This module covers the following questions:

Lesson Slides Hands-on Recordings
Assembly of metagenomic sequencing data

Module 5: Community taxonomic profiling

This module covers the following questions:

This module will cover taxonomic profiling in theory and also with an example tutorial.

Module 6: Taxonomic binning

This module covers the process used to classify DNA sequences obtained from metagenomic sequencing into discrete groups, or bins, based on their similarity to each other.
