Marine & Aquatic Microbiome Informatics (Blue Bio) — Hands-on

Build end-to-end marine and freshwater microbiome analytics for ecology, blue economy and monitoring. Learn size-fractionated sampling, amplicon/shotgun pipelines, co-assembly and MAG recovery, functional/pathway profiling, and integration with oceanographic metadata (CTD, salinity, nutrients) . Apply workflows to estuaries, coastal, open-ocean and aquaculture systems, including HAB and pathogen surveillance, with reproducible geospatial reports.
