Analysis of microbial communities with QIIME Justin Kuczynski February 2012
Why are we at this workshop anyway? Because Microbial communities are important
Microbial communities are important photos: stockphoto.it, eurasnet.info, elkhorn.unl.edu
How might we investigate microbial communities? One option: 16S / SSU sequence based profiling
SSU / 16S experimental workflow Extract DNA and amplify marker gene with barcoded primers Pool amplicons and sequence
Sequences are not directly interpretable line 12,000 of 1.2 M
Sequences are not directly interpretable And beware: • chimeric PCR products • sequencing error • uneven sequencing depth • short read effects line 12,000 of 1.2 M
From sequences to results E. Costello et al., 2009
How might one move from raw sequences to interpretable results?
How might one move from raw sequences to interpretable results? That is QIIME’s purpose
