DESCRIPTION: Course name: De Novo Genome assembly Course dates: 2018-11-20 
 to 2018-11-22 Course location: Husargatan 3\, Uppsala National course open
  for PhD students\, postdocs\, researchers and other employees in need of 
 genome assembly skills within all Swedish universities. The course is run 
 by the SciLifeLab bioinformatics platform NBIS (https://www.nbis.se). Impo
 rtant dates Application closes: October 15 Confirmation to accepted studen
 ts: October 22 Link to application https://goo.gl/forms/Oins4D9QZVoncbGy1 
 Responsible teachers: Henrik Lantz If you do not receive information accor
 ding to the above dates please contact: henrik.lantz@nbis.se Course fee A 
 course fee* of 1700 SEK will be invoiced to accepted participants. This in
 cludes lunches\, coffee and snacks. *Please note that NBIS cannot invoice 
 individuals Course content The course is mostly aimed at researchers getti
 ng into their first de novo genome assembly project\, but will also includ
 e information of use for the more experienced researcher. We will cover as
 sembly of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and spend a lot of time on learn
 ing how to run the analyses in hands-on computer exercises. Applicants wil
 l be taken through all steps of a genome assembly project\, from the quali
 ty assessment of data\, through assembly\, to validation of assemblies. Af
 ter this course\, the students will be well aware of common practices in g
 enome assembly projects and will know how to avoid common pitfalls. Topics
  covered will include: ●Different sequencing technologies and their use 
 in genome assembly\, including Illumina\, PacBio\, Oxford Nanopore\, 10X G
 enomics\, and Hi-C data ●Quality assessment of data ●Data filtering in
 cluding Quality based cleaning and adapter trimming ●Assembly of genomes
  including overview of commonly used programs ●Assembly validation and p
 olishing ●Contamination analyses Entry requirements This is an advanced 
 course. Participants must be comfortable navigating a linux shell and exec
 uting programs from the command line. Without this knowledge\, it will be 
 impossible to participate in the computer exercises. Previous experience f
 rom working with NGS data is beneficial. Applicants are encouraged to brin
 g their own laptops\, but there will be computers to use for participants 
 unable to do so. Due to limited space the course can accommodate a maximum
  of 14 participants. If we receive more applications\, participants will b
 e selected based on several criteria. Selection criteria include correct e
 ntry requirements\, motivation to attend the course as well as gender and 
 geographical balance.
