Microbiome studies are rapidly advancing our understanding of the microbial communities that inhabit our gut, in our mouths and on our skin. However, the analysis of microbiome data can be challenging due to the vast complexity and diversity of these communities. To achieve reliable and informative results, it is crucial to carefully consider several key steps to get the most out of your microbiome samples.

In conjunction with our recently published Microbiome Considerations series, where we share our best advice and essential considerations for getting high-quality metagenomics data for your microbiome study – including best practices for sample collection, sequencing techniques, and data analysis through advanced bioinformatics. This webinar highlights these considerations and leverages as a platform to ask our expert panel questions on microbiome research.

The three key things you'll learn in this webinar are:

• To share best practices for sample collection, sequencing techniques, and data analysis through advanced bioinformatics.
• To provide insights into how to maximize accuracy and reliability of microbiome data.
• To communicate valuable experiences that can be applied to your own research
