Joint de.NBI & de.KCD Summer School 2026 - Cloud Enabled (Meta/Pan)Genomics
Join de.NBI and de.KCD for an intensive five-day Summer School at the intersection of life sciences, cloud computing, and research data management. Researchers at all career stages and highly motivated students will explore state-of-the-art methods in genomics, metagenomics, and pangenomics, from reproducible workflows on the de.NBI Cloud to sustainable data sharing with FAIR principles. The Summer School will be a mixture of key-notes, expert lectures and hands-on tutorials and offers, beyond the technical skills, a unique opportunity to connect with community experts as well as other researchers.
- Day 1: Welcome, Cloud Introduction, Virtual Environments
- Day 2: Genomics - QA/QC, Assembly & Annotation, Comparative Genomics, Genome Databases & Repositories
- Day 3: Metagenomics - Assembly, Binning, MAGs, Classification & Annotation, Co-Occurence Analysis
- Day 4: Pangenomics - Diversity Analysis, Core Detection, Phylogenomic Reconstruction
- Day 5: RDM - General Data Management, Cloud-Based RDM, FAIRDOM-SEEK
Learning goals:
This Summer School covers different topics spread across individual days, where the participants will get introduced to the theoretical background followed by practical hands-on sessions that teaches how to deal with and analyze different data sets.
