AUSTRAL-omics (UACh)
Dr. Andrea Silva is an Evolutionary Biologist with research in the fields of genetics, genomics and molecular biology. She works as Director of Research and Projects at AUSTRAL-omics, a Core-Facility dependent on the VIDCA-UACh. In addition, it is part of the Institute of Environmental and Evolutionary Sciences of the UACh. His scientific interest focuses on functional genomics and evolution, seeking to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in the physiological responses of organisms to environmental variables.
All Sessions by Andrea Silva Baez
Metabarcoding, metagenomics and metatranscriptomics: When, how and why?
In this workshop we will talk about how to redirect a mixed-sample HTS experiment to resolve specific questions that arise from such designs: What is the sequencing effort required? What is the appropriate read size? Do you need amplification sequencing? , shotgun sequencing or RNA? Should sequencing be Single Read or Paired End? Do we use ASV or OTUS in taxonomic assignment? Do we deplete ribosomal or enrich in mRNA? We will address these and other questions, and how to resolve them, reviewing some case studies in which I have participated as a researcher or in years of consulting in the AUSTRAL-omics laboratory.
