Strategies for Building Computing Skills To Support Microbiome Analysis: a Five-Year Perspective from the EDAMAME Workshop

ABSTRACT Here, we report our educational approach and learner evaluations of the first 5 years of the Explorations in Data Analysis for Metagenomic Advances in Microbial Ecology (EDAMAME) workshop, held annually at Michigan State University’s Kellogg Biological Station from 2014 to 2018. We hope thi...
