This course provides demonstrations and exercises for performing common genomics-based analysis tasks of bacterial sequence data. It uses PATRIC, the PathoSystems Resource Integration Center, as the platform for analysis. PATRIC is the NIH/NIAID-funded bacterial Bioinformatics Resource Center, providing comprehensive bacterial genomic data with integrated analysis tools and visualizations. PATRIC also provides a private workspace where users can upload and analyze their own data.

Syllabus - What you will learn from this course
Introduction
This lesson provides an introduction to PATRIC, the PathoSystems Resource Integration Center, a Bioinformatics Resource Center dedicated to supporting bacterial research. PATRIC provides comprehensive bacterial genomic data with integrated analysis tools and visualizations. PATRIC also provides a private workspace where users can upload and analyze their own data. PATRIC will serve as the platform for the analysis methods covered in this module.
Assembly
This lesson provides step-by-step instructions for assembling a genome from a set of bacterial sequence reads using the PATRIC Genome Assembly Service. Exercises are included to enhance comprehension and build proficiency in using the assembly process.
Annotation
This lesson provides step-by-step instructions for annotating a genome from contigs using the PATRIC Genome Annotation Service. Exercises are included to enhance comprehension and build proficiency in using the annotation process.
Comprehensive Genome Analysis
This lesson provides step-by-step instructions for assembling, annotating, and performing an automated analysis of a genome from a set of bacterial sequence reads using the PATRIC Comprehensive Genome Analysis Service. Exercises are included to enhance comprehension and build proficiency in using the service.
