Dear all, We've finalised the invited speakers for the Assembly and Annotation of Genomes course (9-13 March), and we've also got a Teaching Assistant on board: Ying Chen from the Vertebrate Genome Lab. Course website: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course20/ ) The course will cover genome assembly and annotation using a range of sequencing technologies like Illumina, PacBio, Oxford Nanopore, plus scaffolding methods like Hi-C. We'll focus on quality control, manual curation, and annotation using real tools and datasets. It's perfect for beginners and more advanced users alike, and no prior sequencing experience is needed.
