The Microbial Data Science group at the UFZ designed this course focusing on students at different levels of their academic careers (B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D.) and postdoctoral researchers. When creating this course, they had two groups in mind. On the one hand, experienced bioinformaticians would understand how their skills fit microbial ecology and biotechnology research; on the other, those working in microbial ecology and biotechnology would develop their multi-omics analysis skills.
