DESCRIPTION:Virome sequencing is a high throughput method to identify and c
 lassify communities of viruses\, not only in plants but also animals and h
 umans. We will focus on the sequencing of small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) 
 to discover the virus population in plant samples. The resulting informati
 on analysis relies on viral databases that are constantly evolving\, and s
 oftware tools constantly being updated. Therefore\, we will explore all of
  these aspects in this workshop.\n\nThe workshop will consist of two modul
 es: i) a wet bench workshop for training around the experimental design an
 d DNA library preparation\, and ii) a bioinformatics module overviewing mu
 ltiple applications of Virome Sequencing\, and its application in agricult
 ural systems. People interested in this workshop may apply for both module
 s (limited to 10 participants) or only for the bioinformatics module (limi
 ted to 25 participants). Selection of participants will be based on [appl
 ication form](https://forms.gle/WhSEFTwh82tvK4TQ9).   \n The bioinformati
 cs module includes a pipeline for detailed computational analysis of virom
 e data\; including genomic analysis tools such as Virus-DetectW\, phylogen
 etic and recombination analysis with MegaX and RDP and network  analysis 
 using the statistical package R. Also\, publicly available resources for v
 irus analysis and their application will be implemented during the worksho
 p.\n\nThe detection of pathogens is an essential task for people working o
 n agricultural systems. In recent years the use of sequencing technologies
  has enabled the discovery and description of new viruses\, even communiti
 es of pathogenic entities within crops\, for example potato and sweet pota
 to. This is relevant for surveillance and to develop strategies to control
  these pathogens across borders.
