During the pandemic, I took a course on metagenomics with Dr. Noah Fierer and Dr. Hannah Holland-Mortiz where we obtained a time-series metagenomic dataset from CU Boulder Engineering professor Cresten Mansfeldt that was sampled from the sewage system of the CU Boulder campus. As a class we divided into groups to assess spatial trends, temporal trends, viral communities, and antibiotic resistance genes from the metagenomic data and the environmental variables that were collected with each sample. I was part of the spatial trends group, and I learned a lot about how to wrangle community data in R, use statistics appropriately for community datasets, and to make visualizations in R.
