<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#365F91">De novo assembly from (short read) NGS data is challenging and may require tailored approaches for different complex genomes like those of
<span class="SpellE">polyploid</span> plants.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#365F91">After a quick introduction into NGS techniques and platforms, this course will cover topics like: Sequencing strategies using short– or long-read sequences, paired-end and mate-pairs
and having a (remotely related) reference genome or not. Elementary steps like Quality assurance and read filtering are essential and much of your results depend on the wise choice of the right algorithm and assembler with your specific type of data, data
coverage and genome. Closing the gaps and finishing strategies, functional annotation and comparative genomics will conclude this course. This hands-on course is targeted at PhD's and researchers with experience in genomics or NGS data analysis.</span></p>
