Dear colleagues, It's our pleasure to announce the k-mer workshop for biodiversity genomics hosted by Wellcome Connecting Science! Where: Wellcome Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge, UK When: 1. - 6. of June 2025 Confirmed teachers: Kathrine Janike, Rayan Chikhi, Kamil S. Jaron and Eugene Myers We will emphasise good understanding of k-mer basics (and a few advanced concepts), uses of common k-mer tools (e.g. k-mer counting, genome profiling) and one day of k-mer hackathon on application of the workshop materials on real problems. By the end of this workshop we aim the participants to be equipped to apply/develop k-mer approaches into their own problems. We expect a minimal computational competency (familiarity with UNIX command line environment). Suitable for students and researchers.
