The aim of this virtual training is to introduce participants to the software tools commonly used for assessing quality of and polishing Illumina and Nanopore bacterial sequencing data. 

Participants will gain insights into interpreting quality control (QC) parameters as well as how to handle bad quality reads and contaminated data.

Session 1: Introduction to and execution of QC assessment and contamination control.

Session 2: Interpretation of QC and contamination results. Performing read trimming.

If you are a microbiologist or a bioinformatician interested in quality assessment of sequence read data of bacteria, enrol today and tell your colleagues. It's open for public enrolment.
