Easy chair submission system

Written on 06.05.25 by Johanna Schmitz

Dear all,

we created an easy chair conference for the seminar. The link is provided in the Materials section.
You must submit your report (and slides, as one pdf) there until the 11.06..
If you have any questions or problems during the submission process, feel free to post questions in the forum. Since you can already create a submission and update it as many times as you like (before the deadline), make sure that everything works before the deadline is over.

Best,
Jens and Johanna

Reproducible methods in metagenomics

In this seminar, we discuss recently published papers that introduced novel methods for metagenomic data analysis, mainly focusing on efficient algorithms and data structures for sequence data.
Starting with the original paper, participants shall explain the underlying method with all necessary background and apply the tool to check the reproducibility of the results in the paper.
To pass the seminar both a presentation (40 min for seminars and 30 min for pro-seminars) and a written report are required.

A kick-off meeting to discuss the organization and possible papers will be held early in the semester. Participation in this kick-off meeting is only possible if you have been assigned to this seminar by the seminar system. You will then receive an email with the exact date and time. To participate in the seminar, participation in the kick-off meeting is mandatory.

Possible topics include:

- data processing (quality control, contamination removal etc.)
- taxonomic classification
- (meta)genome assembly
- metagenomic phylogeny

Requirements: Basic knowledge about algorithms and data structures, e.g., Introduction to Algorithms and Data Structures, Bioinformatik I, or Algorithms for Sequence Analysis
