We are excited because the response to the announcement of the workshop has been awesome! We are expecting approximately 30 grad students and post docs visiting from a wide range of esteemed institutions who besides getting to enjoy sunny San Diego will be getting hands-on training on the secrets of QIIME, VAMPS, and QIITA. To benefit from this great opportunity, project data has been uploaded by participants to QIITA and imported to VAMPS. Analysis will take place during the workshop, and we look forward to creating a meta-analysis of the projects as a final product!
Looking forward to this, should be a good cohort of locals from UCSD, SDSU, and neighboring institutions! Exciting stuff!
