# Overview
**Welcome to [Radboud Summer School, July 2021](https://www.ru.nl/radboudsummerschool/courses/2021/brain-bacteria-behaviour/)**

## Introduction
This course is based on [_miaverse_](https://microbiome.github.io) (mia = **MI**crobiome **A**nalysis) is an
R/Bioconductor framework for microbiome data science. It extends another popular framework, [phyloseq](https://joey711.github.io/phyloseq/).
The miaverse consists of an efficient data structure, an
associated package ecosystem, demonstration data sets, and open
documentation. These are explained in more detail in the online book
[Orchestrating Microbiome Analysis](https://microbiome.github.io/OMA).
The training material walks you through an example workflow that
shows the standard steps of taxonomic data analysis covering data
access, exploration, analysis, visualization and reporoducible
reporting. **You can run the workflow by simply copy-pasting the
examples.** For advanced material, you can test and modify further
examples from the [OMA book](https://microbiome.github.io/OMA), or try
to apply the techniques to your own data.
## Learning goals
This course provides an overview of the standard bioinformatics
workflow in taxonomic profiling studies, ranging from data
preprocessing to statistical analysis and reproducible reporting, with
a focus on examples from human gut microbiota studies. You
will become familiar with standard bioinformatics concepts and methods
in taxonomic profiling studies of the human microbiome. This includes
better understanding of the specific statistical challenges, practical
hands-on experience with the commonly used methods, and reproducible
research with R.
After the course you will know how to approach new tasks in microbiome
data science by utilizing available documentation and R tools.
**Target audience** Advanced students and applied researchers who wish
to develop their skills in microbial community analysis.
**Venue** [Radboud University / Online](), Nijmegen. July 5-16, 2021,
with contributions by [University of
Turku](http://datascience.utu.fi), Finland.
