DESCRIPTION:This course will cover the entire arc of a reference genome pro
 ject\; from sample acquisition and shipping\, through nucleic acid extract
 ion\, sequencing\, assembly\, curation and annotation in public databases.
  It will promote the use and reuse of aquatic genomic data\, build a commu
 nity of researchers able to exploit these new data types\, and introduce t
 hem to the theory and practice of reference quality genome sequencing and 
 assembly. The course content will connect participants to researchers at t
 he forefront of the biodiversity genomics revolution and meet with others 
 worldwide who also aim to apply these new approaches to their study system
 s.  \n  \n Participants will develop bioinformatics skills to quality asse
 ss raw genomic sequence data\, identify co-bionts\, assemble data into a g
 enome build\, assess and then annotate the model with biological significa
 nce.\n\nSymbiosis lies at the heart of the origins of the eukaryotic cell\
 , and new symbiosis events today shape much of the natural world\, playing
  key roles in ecosystem engineering and in colonisation of extreme habitat
 s such as hydrothermal vents. Biological understanding of symbiosis will b
 e hugely enhanced through the deep analysis of the genomes of the interact
 ing partners\, and the Aquatic Symbiosis Genomics project is working globa
 lly to generate reference genomes for many symbints from marine and freshw
 ater habitats.\n\n### Virtual course\n\nParticipants will learn via a mix 
 of lectures\, technical presentations\, group work\, and discussion sessio
 ns. Practical experience will be developed through group activities and tr
 ainer-led computational exercises. Live sessions will be delivered using Z
 oom with additional support and communication via Slack.\n\nComputational 
 practicals will run on EMBL-EBI's virtual training infrastructure\, meanin
 g participants will not require access to a powerful computer or install c
 omplex software on their own machines.\n\nParticipants will need to be ava
 ilable between the hours of 09:45-17:30 GMT each day of the course. Traine
 rs will be available to assist\, answer questions and further explain the 
 analysis during these times.
