Introduction
Welcome to the microbial association network construction tutorial.
This tutorial will guide you through the construction of an association network from
a real (published) data set using 4 popular tools, namely MENA,
LSA, SparCC and
CoNet.
This tutorial has been presented at the
metagenomics and data analysis course in Nijmegen 2014 and the
Systems, Synthetic and Semantic Biology Summer School in Trento 2014.
Note that this tutorial has been written by the developer of CoNet, thus tools may not
be presented here in a perfectly balanced way. Please further scrutinize each of the tools
before deciding for the one that best suits your needs or, even better, use several tools at once.
Slides accompanying this tutorial can be downloaded here.
The slides give more background on the problems of network construction from metagenomic data and the different tools available.
