Join Dr. Vinayak Kapatral and learn best practices for skin microbiome analysis.

August 7th 2020 at 11:30 AM Central Time (CDT)

In this webinar you will learn about:

  • Comparing collection methods: Medical Tape, Strips, and swabs.

  • Why you should be using mock community standards and blanks.

  • Comparing best sequencing technologies for Amplicon & Shotgun Metagenomics.

  • Latest technology to 'denoise' your amplicon sequencing samples to discover which taxa are present.

  • Best tools for shotgun metagenomics: Kraken2, Clark, and others.

  • Standard metagenome analysis tools that integrated into ERGO such as Phyloseq and Vegan.

  • Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) is essential to verify controls and expected sample groups

  • Richness estimates such as Shannon, Chao1, and others can enable you to discover the level diversity of your sample groups

  • and much more!
