Dear all,

We are pleased to announce our upcoming online course: EUKARYOTIC GENOME ASSEMBLY USING PACBIO AND HI-C.

In this course, we will extensively use IGV!

Dates: 10–14 November

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

Eukaryotic genomes often contain many repetitive elements. Long-read sequencing technologies such as PacBio HiFi can span these repeats, producing genome assemblies with unprecedented contiguity and base accuracy. Chromatin conformation capture (Hi-C) data further enable scaffolding into chromosome-level assemblies.

This course will guide participants through the complete genome assembly workflow: from raw data preprocessing and quality assessment, through different assembly algorithms, to Hi-C scaffolding and assembly evaluation. Participants will gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience with real eukaryotic datasets.

By the end of the course, participants will:

Understand PacBio HiFi, PacBio CLR, and Hi-C sequencing data
Learn the concepts and strategies of de novo genome assembly
Gain practical experience with state-of-the-art tools for assembly and quality assessment

Best regards,
Carlo
