Bioinformatics.ca workshop: Pathogen Genomic Epidemiology
Bioinformatics.ca offers a 3-day online workshop on Pathogen Genomic Epidemiology.
Date: 24th of November 2025.
This 2-part (2 x 3-day) course from CBW provides an introduction and hands-on practical tutorial for foundational pathogen genomics (Part 1 – Microbial Genomics) skills followed by applied application of this data to infectious disease epidemiology (Part 2 – Infectious Disease Genomic Epidemiology). The tutorials are designed as self-contained units that include example data and detailed instructions for installation of all required bioinformatics tools or access to publicly available web applications.
These workshops can be taken together or separately.
