DESCRIPTION:The course will provide an introduction to de novo assembly\, w
 ith a hands on introduction followed by in-depth analysis of the key steps
  in the process. It covers several aspects such as the initial setup of a 
 de novo genome sequencing project\, quality control and preprocessing of d
 atasets\, generation and evaluation of first pass assemblies\, assembly im
 provement and finishing.\n\nPractical exercises will be performed on small
 -scale real datasets\, including short and long reads. We will present bes
 t practices and provide tips based on EI's faculty experience.\n\nThe cour
 se will consist of a mixture of conceptual lectures\, methodological lectu
 res and hands on sessions\, as well as group activities and discussions. T
 he participants will gain first-hand experience and understanding on NGS a
 ssembly\, working with the assistance of the faculty\, troubleshooting sma
 ll problems\, and reviewing the results.\n\nThis year\, we will be includi
 ng more in-depth content on working with mixed datasets comprising differe
 nt sequencing technologies\, plus hands sessions covering basic assembly a
 lgorithm parameterisation.
