Conferencia invitada en la clase del 18 de mayo at Técnicas Avanzadas de Programación (TAP)
La clase del viernes 18 de mayo consistirá en una conferencia de una hora impartida por un profesor invitado gracias al Programa de Colaboradores Externos en la Docencia 2011/12 de la EINA, co-financiado por el grupo de investigación GISED.
- Día/hora: viernes 18 de mayo / 12:10 h.
- Lugar: Aula 14 del Edificio Ada Byron (c/María de Luna 1, 50018 Zaragoza)
- Conferenciante: Prof. Dr. Gabriel Valiente
- Título: Análisis computacional de muestras metagenómicas
- Resumen (la conferencia será en castellano):
Next generation sequencing technologies have opened up an unprecedented opportunity for microbiology by enabling the culture-independent genetic study of complex microbial communities, which were so far largely unknown. The analysis of metagenomic data is challenging, since a sample may contain a mixture of many different microbial species, whose genome has not necessarily been sequenced beforehand. In this talk, we discuss both composition-based and alignment-based methods for the classification of sequence reads, and present recent results on the assignment of ambiguous sequence reads to microbial species at the best possible taxonomic rank.
