The CEIRR CMC holds bi-monthly research tutorials that feature leading researchers who develop state-of-the-art computational methods to better understand respiratory viruses. These events are designed to facilitate in-depth discussions and provide ample opportunity for questions from the audience, with each tutorial lasting 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Abstract: Real-time tracking of pathogen evolution with Nextstrain requires knowledge of tools to analyze and visualize genomic data. This workshop will introduce learners to these tools and the corresponding file formats through an example analysis of SARS-CoV-2 genomes and metadata. By the end of the training, learners will know how to identify the necessary input files for their Nextstrain analysis, run specific commands to produce annotated phylogenetic time trees, and visualize and interpret the outputs of these commands. These steps will prepare learners to apply Nextstrain to other viral pathogens related to their own research.
Note: CEIRR CMC events are open only to CEIRR participants. The meeting and discussion are confidential.
