Joint Meeting:
Manipulation of the Gut Microbiota for Metabolic Health (X3)
Summary of Meeting:
The concept that the microbiome shapes health and susceptibility to disease has taken the biomedical sciences by storm. The microbiota is emerging as a fundamental force influencing diverse aspects of physiology reflected in the sessions of this conference. Microbiome studies are at a critical juncture and facing a challenging transition from descriptive studies of association towards mechanistic studies tackling causality. Essential for this transition is a diversity of thinking (chemical and systems biology, metabolism, microbiology, physiology and immunology) and approaches (assays and models). As the basic tools for characterizing microbiomes are now widely accessible, the conference seeks to broaden the base of what defines membership in microbiome studies by inviting investigators to share their vision, approach and results to enhance understanding and mechanistic approaches. In summary, the conference aims to: 1) Introduce a breadth of challenges and biological systems for microbiome studies; 2) Showcase young and senior investigators relevant to advancing next-gen microbiome studies; and 3) Foster collaborative, multidisciplinary microbiome research that advances basic and translational science.

Workshop: Metagenomic, Metatranscriptomic and Multi'Omic Microbiome Analyses (Joint)
This workshop will provide an introduction to study design tools and analysis methods for emerging molecular tools in human microbiome population studies, integrating detailed metagenomic, metatranscriptomic, and other culture-independent molecular methods. Alternating between lecture content and hands-on activities, tutorial presentations will walk attendees through the typical steps in a meta’omic study design and analysis workflow: 1) integration of multiple molecular techniques within a study, 2) bioinformatics for metagenomes and metatranscriptomes, 3) and profiling of microbial community features (taxa, strains, pathways, genes, small molecules, and others). The hands-on components of the tutorial will introduce the bioBakery suite of meta’omic analysis methods, which are publicly available and will be used online through a cloud interface during the workshop. Attendees will work on their personal laptops and interact with their instances through a web browser-based graphical interface (https://bitbucket.org/biobakery/biobakery/wiki/biobakery_workshop).
