    About the Course

    This course will cover the topic of Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of bacterial genomes which is becoming more and more relevant for the
    medical sector. WGS technology and applications are high on international political agenda, as the classical methods are being replaced by
    WGS technology and therefore bioinformatic tools are extremely important for allowing the people working in this sector to be able to analyze
    the data and obtain results that can be interpreted and used for different purposes. The course will give the learners a basis to understand and
    be acquainted with WGS applications in surveillance of bacteria including species identification, typing and characterization of...

    Thank you very much for this course. I have learned new knowledge. Typing is a little bit new for me but I managed to understand the tools and how to use them. Looking forward to the new course by your team.

    The information presented was very good in terms of content. Sometimes the accent of the tutors was difficult to follow and the English translation of the text for the presentations were not always accurate.

    Overall course was really great. It had covered all the necessary aspects. Only suggestion is to elaborate SNPs section in more detail, it was difficult to interpret. Thank you so much for such effort.

    Hay conceptos que no se explican y son difíciles de comprender. Además, algunas herramientas no son explicadas en su totalidad y pueden haber momentos de confusión. Aún así, buen curso, recomendado

    I really learned the basics and the tools presented in this course; thanks!. I have one suggestion, can you include more theoretical and essential information on the topics before giving the tools.

    Please correct the text as there are many mistakes. It it simply not being typed correctly to what the teachers are actually saying. Otherwise I think it was a good course. I enjoyed it. Thanks :)

    It is a very good course, easy to follow, needs to be updated with respect to some details of the bioinformatic tools presented with the changes of version of the tools through time.

    This course was very informative and videos were very engaging. As a soil microbiologist this course provides you an introduction to tools which are being used in epidemiology.

    The course is very educative, and I enjoyed the presentations. However, I found that I could not use most of the tools. It seems the web-based versions have been discontinued.

    This course helped me a lot in determining bacterial typing. Just one question, in some quizzes I got some answers wrong so is there any way of knowing the right answer.

    The course provides some basic ideas about sequencing and assembling in a fairly easy to understand manner. However, the parts of phylogenic trees are badly explained.

    Learned about bioinformatic tools provided by CGE at DTU. IT will be certainly helpful while designing experiments in bacterial whole genome sequencing.
