Microbial genomics pipelines

Question

[win]

hello, i have worked a lot in human genomics and wanted to delve into microbial genomics a bit. basically i was looking for pointers for analysis of microbial sequencing data? is it the same as human?

are there any sites/ resources that discuss microbial genomics including the bioinformatics pipelines etc.,required.

any pointers in this direction would be most appreciated.

Googling for beginner microbial genomics will lead you to a lot of resources, such as Beginner’s guide to comparative bacterial genome analysis using next-generation sequence data or Bacterial genomics tutorial. I believe some other far-fetched search terms such as bacterial genomics tutorial may lead to some other resources.

Thanks that helps, i will review each one, but are the tools mentioned there the most commonly ones used in microbial genomics?

If you specifically need the most commonly used tools for microbial genomics, you should state that in your question.

OK I WILL. Thanks for the reminder.
