公益性微生物基因组学培训班在高校中的实践与探讨

Practice and Discussion of the Commonweal Training Course on Microbial Genomics in Colleges and Universi⁃ties

随着DNA测序技术的发展和海量基因组信息的快速积累,基因组学分析已经成为微生物相关研究的常规手段之一。然而,普通生物学背景的研究者缺乏基本的分析理念和技能,阻碍了组学分析技术的应用。为满足广大研究生和青年教师对生物信息学技能的急切需求,自2017年开始,我们将微生物基因组学分析方法以公益性培训班的形式进行推广,效果良好。该培训班主要面向缺乏生物信息分析基础知识与技能的学生和青年研究者,旨在使其了解作为常规研究手段的微生物基因组学的基本思路,并掌握相关的分析技能,以便即学即用,促进微生物学、微生物组学以及相关领域科学研究的发展。

With the development of DNA sequencing technology and rapid accumulation of genomic data,genomics analysis has become one of the routine methods in the researches associated with microbiology.However,common researchers with biology backgrounds usually have no basic concept and skill to perform genomic analysis,which have impeded the wide range of its application.In response to the needs of graduate students and young teachers for bioinformatics skills,we have practiced the commonweal training course on the topics of microbial genomics analysis for routine research method from the year of 2017.The purpose of this training course is to promote genomics research technology serving general microbiology research.It is mainly aimed at young researchers who lack the basis and skills of bioinformatics analysis,and strives to enable trainers to understand the basic ideas of microbial genomics as a conventionalresearch method,so that it can be used immediately and serve the scientific research of microbiology,microbiome and related fields.
