DESCRIPTION:It is becoming increasingly practical to use large genomic data
  sets to answer research questions in plant biology\, but it can be diffic
 ult to know where to start. In this workshop\, you will perform a genome a
 ssembly using chloroplast sequencing data and the Galaxy Australia web pla
 tform. You'll have the opportunity to try out the workflows on the same or
  other data\, using the free Galaxy platform and its tools.\n\nGalaxy is a
 n online platform for biological research that allows people to use comput
 ational data analysis tools and workflows without the need for programming
  experience. The material covered in this workshop is freely available thr
 ough the Galaxy Training Network.\n\nThe workshop will be held via Zoom an
 d involve a combination of presentations by the lead trainer and smaller b
 reakout groups supported by experienced facilitators.\n\n**Lead trainer:**
   Dr Anna Syme\, Bioinformatician\, Australian BioCommons\, Melbourne Bioi
 nformatics\, University of Melbourne.\n\nAnna has a long history as a rese
 arch scientist and has recently worked at the Royal Botanic Gardens Victor
 ia. Her work on the Bioplatforms Australia project\, Genomics for Australi
 an Plants\, and her current Australian BioCommons role sees her contributi
 ng to workforce transition of researchers working with genomic data.\n\n**
 Learning objectives**\n\nBy the end of the workshop you should be able to:
 \n\n- Assemble a chloroplast genome from a test dataset of Oxford Nanopore
  long sequencing reads\n\n- Polish the assembly with short Illumina sequen
 cing reads\n\n- View the assembly in a genome browser and an assembly grap
 h viewer\n\n- Describe how common tools can be combined to produce a workf
 low for genome assembly\n\n**Who the workshop is for**\n\nThis workshop is
  suitable for Australian researchers with an interest in using Galaxy Aust
 ralia for genome assembly. The workshop requires some prior knowledge of g
 enome assembly and the basics of using Galaxy Australia.\n\nIf you are new
  to these topics we recommend that you work through the following tutorial
 s in advance:\n\n- [A short introduction to Galaxy] (https://training.gala
 xyproject.org/training-material/topics/introduction/tutorials/galaxy-intro
 -short/tutorial.html)\n\n- [Introduction to Genome Assembly] (https://trai
 ning.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/assembly/tutorials/general
 -introduction/tutorial.html)\n\nAdditional tutorials on genome assembly ca
 n be found on the Galaxy Training Network.\n\n**Date/Time:** 21 April 1:00
 pm - 4:00pm AEST\n\n**How to join**\n\nThe workshop is free but places are
  strictly limited and registration requires an Australian institutional em
 ail address.\n\n[Register here] (https://plant-genomics-galaxy.eventbrite.
 com.au/)\n\nThe workshop is presented by the Australian Biocommons and Mel
 bourne Bioinformatics with the assistance of a network of Facilitators fro
 m around Australia. \n\nThis event is part of a series of bioinformatics t
 raining events in partnership with Galaxy Australia. If you'd like to hear
