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 <https://video.uva.nl/media/Metagenomics+101+-+8%7C+Calculations+for+functional+profiles+-+public+version/0_d5pwmf2v>`_. You can find the slides here: :download:`slides session 8 <_static/220503_profiles.pdf>`.
