Dear all, We are pleased to announce our upcoming online course: EUKARYOTIC GENOME ASSEMBLY USING PACBIO AND HI-C Dates: 10-14 November Course website: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/pacbio/ ) Eukaryotic genomes often contain many repetitive elements. Long-read sequencing technologies such as PacBio HiFi can span these repeats, producing genome assemblies with unprecedented contiguity and base accuracy. Chromatin conformation capture (Hi-C) data further enable scaffolding into chromosome-level assemblies. This course will guide participants through the complete genome assembly workflow: from raw data preprocessing and quality assessment, through different assembly algorithms, to Hi-C scaffolding and assembly evaluation. Participants will gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience with real eukaryotic datasets. By the end of the course, participants will: Understand PacBio HiFi, PacBio CLR, and Hi-C sequencing data Learn the concepts and strategies of de novo genome assembly Gain practical experience with state-of-the-art tools for assembly and quality assessment For the full list of our courses and workshops, please visit: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/ ) Best regards,Carlo Carlo Pecoraro, Ph.D Physalia-courses DIRECTOR info@physalia-courses.org mobile: +49 17645230846 ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/physalia-courses-a64418127/ ) "info@physalia-courses.org" (to subscribe/unsubscribe the EvolDir send mail to golding@mcmaster.ca)
