The field of metagenomics and whole community sequencing is a promising area to unravel the content of microbial communities and their relationship to disease and antimicrobial resistance in the human population. Bioinformatic tools are extremely important for making sense out of metagenomics data, by estimating the presence of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance determinants in complex samples. Combined with relevant explanatory data, metagenomics is a powerful tool for surveillance.

Good knowledge, and I learned the basic concept of metagenomic
The course was well structured however I had little difficulty in doing last assignments I think some session on problem solving should be done before giving assignments.
It's an amazing course to get you introduced to the field of AMR,and specifically metagenomics for surveillance.
Thank You
Improved my knowkledge and understanding of Metagenomics use in surveillance and the associated work flow.
