Subject: Online course: Genome Assembly and Annotation -
17–21 March
Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2024 09:27:54 -0600
Dear all,
Were excited to announce our upcoming online course,
https://www.physalia-courses.org/.../course20/, scheduled for
1721 March 2025. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to de
novo genome assembly and annotation, perfect for researchers looking to
master cutting-edge genomic tools and workflows.
Course Highlights
- Explore a range of sequencing technologies, including Illumina, PacBio HiFi,
Oxford Nanopore, and scaffolding techniques (Hi-C, optical mapping).
- Gain practical skills in assembly quality control, visualization, and manual
curation using tools like Genomescope, Merqury, and Pretext.
- Learn annotation strategies using RNA-Seq and IsoSeq data to generate
high-quality reference genomes.
- Benefit from hands-on exercises with graphical interfaces (e.g., Galaxy) and
basic command-line tools.
Who Should Join?
This course is designed for researchers—both beginners and advanced
users—interested in genome assembly and annotation. No prior experience with
DNA sequencing is required, and basic Linux knowledge is helpful but not
mandatory.
What You'll Learn:
- Theoretical and practical concepts of genome assembly and annotation for
genomes of all sizes.
- Strengths and limitations of various sequencing technologies and how to
optimize their use.
- Step-by-step implementation of assembly and annotation workflows for
real-world
research.
This course blends interactive lectures and practical sessions, leveraging the
Vertebrate Genomes Project pipeline as a case study.
Best regards,
Carlo
