Module 4 and Lab 3

Module 4 is available and will include an additional online tool we will explore.  Several computational pipelines offer users the computational power to analyze metagenomes on the cloud. We have explored KBase, and we are now exploring several other metagenomics pipelines. We will use Nephele to dig into a different dataset, focusing on data equity and quality control.

Article 2 was complex. We encourage everyone to review the annotations and continue contributing. This will help you solidify your understanding of MetaBAT2 and continue learning other processes and concepts.  

We will complete the Nephele activity posted on Moodle. You can work on the Nephele assignment on your own and review progress on Tuesday. 

In lab tomorrow, we will pool libraries for Illumina sequencing and begin Nanopore library preparation for both 16S and WGS.

Feel free to reach out and ask for clarification or use the student forum.
