Project 2: Stingless bees Metabarcoding

[Kiage24]

This is my second choice.

Reasons:

1. The project will enable me to learn the ampliseq workflow and enhance my skill set.
2. Application of theoretical principles of metabarcoding that I have learnt through the training.
3. It will enable me to gain exposure to new tools such as PLANTiTS.
4. I will gain basic skills on cloud computing through assessment of ampliseq workflow scalability.

I choose this project as my third option because:

1. I would like to get exposure in the analysis of NGS metatranscriptomic data
2. It will give exposure on bioinformatics workflows and HPC

Second choice

Reasons:

1. Through this project, I would be exposed to new skills on Illumina platform sequence analysis using ampliseq workflow
2. The project will help me to gain knowledge and skills in targeted taxonomic microbial analysis of environmental samples
3. The project will help me to learn about cloud computing and working with HPC

The second choice

I have a keen interest in the analysis of metagenomics data, and this project would expose me to the principles of meta-barcoding as is applied in metagenomics; this is key in amplicon sequencing of microbial populations. I would also be able to interact with PLANiTS database, as well as learn how to develop an effective, scalable and reproducible amplicon sequencing workflow.

THIRD CHOICE

• I expect to learn about metagenomics analysis since most samples nowadays tend to be environmental samples.
• Deepen understanding of Illumina ampliseq workflow and tools used.

THIRD CHOICE

1. To gain more knowledge and analytical skills of metagenomics data with a focus on metabarcoding.
2. To gain basic skills in developing ampliseq workflow.
