Join us for an in-depth webinar showcasing the discovery of functional insights in microbial communities using QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench tools. Ideal for microbiologists, bioinformaticians and researchers aiming to uncover functional signatures in microbial communities and drive data-driven discoveries, you will learn how to perform a comprehensive whole metagenome functional analysis, from raw NGS data to functional profiling and visualization.

Whether you are working with experimental or clinical samples, this session will equip you with a robust, scalable pipeline for comparative functional metagenomics.

Learn how to:

• Import and prepare raw NGS data

• Assemble metagenomes into contigs

• Map reads and bin pangenomes by sequence

• Identify genes and coding DNA sequences (CDS)

• Annotate functional elements using Gene Ontology (GO) and Pfam domains

• Build functional profiles to explore diversity

• Visualize and analyze functional differences across sample groups
