NTU - R for Microbes on Natural Ecosystems - 2021

Course: Microbes on Natural Ecosystems

Code: ES2304 & ES7027

Main instructor: Adriana Lopes dos Santos

Academic Year: 2021-2022 - First semester

Institution: Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

School: Asian School of the Environment

Objectives

During the first half of this course, we will walk through some basics concepts in microbiology, the diversity within the three domain of life and how microbes control the chemistry of our planet. In the second half, we will start by some common techniques used in microbial molecular ecology, and we’ll dive deep into real life high throughput sequencing datasets from distinct oceanic regions. With these datasets and some basic tools, we will describe biogeographic and diversity patterns of specific microbial eukaryotes from the marine plankton.
