Learn how to use the most powerful interactive microbiome analysis tool
This introductory workshop provides an intensive training in how to use MEGAN6.
MEGAN6 is a comprehensive toolbox for interactively analyzing microbiome data. It comprises all the interactive tools you need for your metagenomics analysis.
All participants will learn how to use both the Community and Ultimate Editions of MEGAN6. For the latter, everyone will get a free 30 day license key.
Check our course layout.
The Community Edition of MEGAN6 is free to use for everyone.
MEGAN6 Ultimate Edition brings a command-line mode for automating batch analyses, advanced viewer for exploring long-read annotations, and integration of official KEGG metabolic pathways (which are no longer free, even for academic use). MEGAN6 Ultimate Edition is $2,990.00 per year per user.
