Introduction to Long-Read Bioinformatics, 24-27 June 2024Info Location Contact More Info Event Information
DescriptionPLEASE SIGN UP HERE BEFORE PAYING FOR THIS COURSE Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has been revolutionised by the development of long-read sequencing technologies in the last few years. Driven in no small part by Oxford Nanopore Technologies (https://nanoporetech.com/), we now have the ability to sequence long (kb+) single-molecule DNA fragments. Although these developments are expected to alleviate numerous computational challenges surrounding genome assembly they also bring some interesting bioinformatics challenges to which we have to adapt in order to get the most from this powerful technology. This exciting new course aims to introduce the principles and practice of long-read genome assembly and analysis using cutting-edge software and best practices tried and tested by our expert bioinformaticians here at Edinburgh Genomics. Who this course is forAside from a basic understanding of molecular biology, attendees must have a working knowledge of how to use the Linux BASH command line - our 1-day "Linux for bioinformatics" course is a suitable background. https://genomics.ed.ac.uk/services/introduction-long-read-bioinformatics
