Module: Microbial Analysis

Variation in the genome of M. tuberculosis (Mtb) is associated with changes in phenotype, for example drug resistance and virulence. It is also useful for outbreak investigation as the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a sample can be used to build a phylogeny.

To determine the composition of a microbiome sample, sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene is often used. This allows us to identify the bacterial species present in our sample. This lecture and practical session introduces you to 16S analysis in Galaxy using the mothur tool suite.

In this 3-part module, you will learn about Nanopore long-read sequencing for the detection of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). There is a short video showing you the wetlab steps involved in using the MinION sequencer. A talk about the clinical applications, and finally a practical tutorial walking you through an AMR analysis in Galaxy.
