The GTN hosts its 400th tutorial: Building an amplicon sequence variant (ASV) table from 16S data using DADA2The investigation of environmental microbial communities and microbiomes has been revolutionized by the development of high-throughput amplicon sequencing. In amplicon sequencing a particular genetic locus, for example the 16S rRNA gene (or a part of it) in bacteria, is amplified from DNA extracted from the community of interest, and then sequenced on a next-generation sequencing platform. This technique removes the need to culture microbes in order to detect their presence, and cost-effectively provides a deep census of a microbial community.This new Galaxy training explores 16S amplicon data processing using DADA2 and exploration using Phyloseq.

	Thanks to a collaborative effort between the teams at Galaxy Training Network (GTN), WorkflowHub, and Australian BioCommons, GTN workflows are now registered automatically with WorkflowHub. The existing set of workflows can be viewed here: GTN on WorkflowHub. For every new tutorial that is added to the GTN, any workflows that it contains will now also be pushed to WorkflowHub.

	

				The GTN provides learners with a free, open repository of online training
				materials, with a focus on hands-on training that aims to be directly applicable for learners.
				We aim to connect researchers and learners with local trainers, and events worldwide.
			
				We promote FAIR and Open Science practices worldwide, are committed to the accessibility of this platform and training for everyone.
