A lot of different analysis and visualisations can be carried out with community data. This includes taxonomy and functional abundance tables from 16S rRNA and Shotgun metagenomics analysis. This workshop will introduce you to the phyloseq R object; a specialised object containing an abundance, taxonomy, and metadata table. You will learn how to import your data into a phyloseq object, analyse your data and produce bespoke visualisations in R with the packages qiime2R, phyloseq, and microbiome.

Places are restricted to UK-based researchers and only 30 places are available so please only register if you intend on attending.

The workshop will be held over two days on Tuesday 17th and Thursday 19th June 2025, 10am-4pm, with registration opening 9.30am on Tuesday.

The deadline to register is Monday 2nd June noon, 2 weeks before the course. You will hear later that week whether you have been invited and will need to confirm your attendance.

Learning objectives:

At the end of the course learners will be able to:

  • Import QIIME2 artifacts into a phyloseq object.
  • Summarise the abundance and taxonomy contents of a phyloseq object
  • Preprocess the abundance and taxonomy tables. This will include transforming sample counts, and subsetting samples & taxonomies.
  • Understand the grammar of graphics (ggplot2) used by phyloseq and related packages.
  • Carry out alpha & beta diversity, and biomarker detection with the phyloseq object.
  • Produce and customise publication quality plots.
  • Run statistical analysis.
