DESCRIPTION:This comprehensive course equips you with essential skills and 
 knowledge in bacterial genomics analysis\, primarily using Illumina-sequen
 ced samples. You'll gain an understanding of how to select the most approp
 riate analysis workflow\, tailored to the genome diversity of a given bact
 erial species. Through hands-on training\, you'll apply both de novo assem
 bly and reference-based mapping approaches to obtain bacterial genomes for
  your isolates. You will apply standardised workflows for genome assembly 
 and annotation\, including quality assessment criteria to ensure the relia
 bility of your results. Along with typing bacteria using methods such as M
 LST\, you'll learn how to construct phylogenetic trees using whole genome 
 and core genome alignments\, enabling you to explore the evolutionary rela
 tionships among bacterial isolates. You’ll extend this to estimate a tim
 e-scaled phylogeny using a starting phylogenetic tree. Lastly\, you'll app
 ly methods to detect antimicrobial resistance genes. As examples we will u
 se ''Mycobacterium tuberculosis''\, ''Staphylococcus aureus'' and ''Strept
 ococcus pneumoniae''\, allowing you to become well-equipped to conduct bac
 terial genomics analyses on a range of species.\n\n\nIf you do not have a
