<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:windowtext">Metagenomics has quickly become one of the most important discovery tools in microbial ecology. Metagenomics is a powerful tool to study the organisms in microbial communities, that has numerous
applications in many areas of biomedical science. By bypassing the need for laboratory culturing, this technology can unlock the massive uncultured microbial diversity, enabling the microbial component of specific environments to be surveyed, discover new
organisms, and explore the dynamic ecology of microbial populations under changing conditions. The high throughput nature of metagenomics means that huge datasets are generated, and in order to extract biological information from these data, advanced bioinformatics
and statistical tools are indispensable.</span><span style="color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:windowtext">From <b>15-19 September 2014</b> we organize a
<b>five-day course </b>at NIOO-KNAW in Wageningen. <br>
Participants will get hands on experience in the analysis and treatment of metagenomic data, including preprocessing and quality filtering, data handling and submission to public archives, annotation, multivariate statistical analyses, and metagenome assembly.
<br>
Course website: <a href="http://nioo.knaw.nl/en/metagenomics-course"><span style="color:windowtext">http://nioo.knaw.nl/en/metagenomics-course</span></a> .<br>
Course fee: 350 euro, including hotel accommodation.<br>
<br>
On the last day of the course, <b>19 September 2014</b>, we are organizing <b>an Environmental Metagenomics Symposium
</b>which will bring together renowned scientists in microbial ecology and bioinformatics, who will present their recent explorations of the microbiota of different environments. Moreover, we will welcome the presentations of several students of the metagenomics
course held in the week leading up to this symposium. Together, this will be an exciting opportunity to see the latest advances in environmental metagenomics from young talents as well as established leaders in the field.
<br>
The symposium is open for everyone interested in environmental metagenomics.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
