## Workshops

1. **CoDaSeq workshop**
  - **Description:** The intention of this workshop is to give participants a background in Compositional Data Analysis (CoDa) for transcription studies. At the end of the workshop you will have been introduced to CoDa, why you’d use CoDa, and gain hands-on experience using CoDa analysis in R.

2. **Microbiota Analysis in R [workshop/tutorial]**
  - **Description:** The goal of this tutorial is to demonstrate basic analyses of microbiota data to determine if and how communities differ by variables of interest. In general, this pipeline can be used for any microbiota data set that has been clustered into operational taxonomic units (OTUs).
