The new generations of DNA sequencing technologies (NGS) represent one of the largest revolutions in Biology since the discovery of DNA. NGS will have profound effects on all branches of biology and medicine. In Microbiology NGS have made feasible the access to many genomes of microbes and complete communities (metagenome), this opens the possibility of understanding population genomics rather than the reductionist models derived from the study of model organisms (or strains in the case of bacteria). For the first time, it seems that we can get refined and reliable descriptions of the microbes that live in our bodies (human microbiome) or in environmentally relevant habitats such as the ocean, rivers or soils. Furthermore, we can start to understand the way in which the microbes in our body and those that regulate the functioning of the biosphere adapt to their environment, with the fast evolution that is one of their characteristics, generating such serious hazards to human health as antibiotic resistance. Their adaptability can also be a fundamental issue to forecast how our planet will react to the serious damage caused by widespread human impact on
the ecosystems. The new technologies require a new kind of biologist that has computers and bioinformatics as major tools. To develop this new kind of curriculum it is fundamental the technology transfer from centers of excellence where they are developed and applied. The objective of this workshop is to provide an introduction to this field that is rapidly evolving so that they can spread the new technologies and advance in the post-NGS Microbiology. We will have lectures by some of the most
prestigious scientists in the field and practical demonstrations using computers.
