The student will learn about state-of-the-art statistics and bioinformatics methods for the analysis of microbiome studies.
The following topics are included:
- what is the microbiome
- from sequencing reads to OTU and ASV tables
- data characteristics: overdispersion, sparseness, compositionality, ...
- data exploration and visualization: barplots, PCoA plots, RCM plots
- diversity indices (alpha and beta diversity)
- testing for differential abundance
- advanced modelling of microbiome data (e.g. longitudinal data analysis)
- advanced case studies (example of intervention microbiome experiments, basic settings and differential abundance across intervention levels and ecosystem of microbiome (OTUs, alpha diversity, family level etc))
- advanced modelling of microbiome data (High dimensional microbiome biomarkers)

Explanation (English) | If the student received a pass mark for the papers in the first chance exam period, the student may keep these partial marks and in the second chance exam the student must present the paper and will receive questions related to the papers (just like for the first chance exam). If the student did not receive a pass mark for the papers in the first chance exam period, the student will receive new project assignments. |
