Dear all,

We are excited to announce the second edition of our Manual Genome Curation using PretextView course, held online from 24–28 November, in collaboration with the Wellcome Sanger Institute.

 

Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/genome-curation/ 

 

This hands-on course introduces biologists and bioinformaticians to the principles and practice of manual genome curation, including:

  • Interpreting Hi-C heatmaps to identify and fix assembly errors

  • Generating curated genome FASTA files using the Rapid Curation pipeline

  • Handling challenging genomes, including microchromosomes, high heterozygosity, and sex chromosomes

Participants will gain practical experience using PretextView, understand the steps necessary to deliver high-quality chromosome assemblies, and explore additional tools for effective genome curation.


 

For the full list of our courses and workshops, please visit: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/

 

 

Best regards,
Carlo
