Welcome to the Education Resources page!
Here you will find searchable resources that support educators and instructors teaching microbiome sciences, and individuals new to microbiome research and analyses. Our vision for the page is to provide entry points for microbiome experiments, data, analyses, and past workshops.
To navigate through the resources, filter the content using Categories and Tags.
For example, you are looking for a platform with a graphical user interface. You can search the Categories of ‘Graphical User Interface’ and enter ‘Platform’ in the Search bar to filter through the list and display GUI platforms like Geneious, Nephele, KBase, and Cyverse.

Bioinformatics Virtual Coordination Network
Welcome to the website for the Bioinformatics Virtual Coordination Network (BVCN). The group was started in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As research laboratories were shutting, we, a group of bioinformaticians and computational biologists, sought to formalize training to helping wet-lab biologists pick up some computational skills/begin computational projects during the global crisis.
