QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench provides tools and workflows for a broad range of bioinformatics applications, including microbiome analysis, isolate characterization through SNP and K-mer trees using NGS data, and antimicrobial resistance characterization. CLC Genomics Workbench is widely used for analyses of bacterial, viral and eukaryotic (fungal) genomes and metagenomes.

Topics covered in this webinar include:

I.                    Overview of different tools within MGM application and research areas supported

II.                  II. Focused review of isolate typing and characterization

III.                a. How to import data

IV.                b. Using metadata

V.                  c. Downloading and managing references, including databases of isolates/resistances/MLST

VI.                d. Walkthrough of the "Type a Known Species" workflow and review of details for each isolate

VII.              e. Creating SNP profiles to specific reference

VIII.            f. Generate a SNP tree for isolate comparison

IX.                g. Export tabular and high-quality graphical outputs in wide range of file formats
