Workshop
Genome assembly using long-reads
25 jan. 2027 - 3 feb. 2027
This hands-on training introduces you to the principles and practical steps of genome assembly with long reads. You will learn how to design efficient sequencing strategies, process and assess raw reads, execute assembly workflows, and evaluate the quality of the final genome.

Leertraject
High-quality genome assemblies are essential for understanding the biology, evolution, and functional genomics of organisms. Advances in long-read sequencing technologies, such as Oxford Nanopore, now make it possible to generate highly accurate reference genomes, even for complex or repetitive regions.
By the end of the training, you will have the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions throughout an assembly project and prepare a robust foundation for downstream analyses.
Learning outcomes
- Describe the main steps of a genome assembly pipeline.
- Apply quality control procedures to filter and assess raw sequencing reads.
- Execute genome assembly using selected tools and adjust parameters.
- Evaluate the quality and completeness of a genome assembly.
- Reflect on potential next steps and downstream applications.
