Session 8: Functional profiles

This eighth session deals with some approaches to make (semi-)quantitative profiles of the molecular functions found in metagenomes and how they can be compared across samples:

• Look back at:

  • mapping

  • annotation

• Gene abundance measures - functional profile calculation

  • reads per gene / reads per function

  • reads per kilobase

  • copies per million

  • average depth of coverage

• Working with functional profiles

The recording is available on the University of Amsterdam’s media site. You can find the slides here: slides session 8.
