A course is being organized in Prague, hosted by the Czech ELIXIR Node lead institute in cooperation with the nodes involved in ELIXIR-EXCELERATE task 10.3 “Capacity Building in Genome Assembly and Annotation”. Some of the most experienced assembly and annotation experts in Europe will be teaching at the course.The course is aimed at researchers interested in learning more about genome assembly and annotation. It will include information useful for both the beginner and the more advanced user. We will start by introducing general concepts and then continue to step-by-step describe all major components of a genome assembly and annotation workflow, from raw data all the way to a final assembled and annotated genome. There will be a mix of lectures and hands-on practical exercises using command line Linux. After the course the participants will be aware of common practices and commonly used tools and be able to run assembly and annotation projects on their own.Workshop ProgrammePreliminary programme, note that details might change. We will confirm the final programme prior to the course start. Lunch and coffee breaks to be included at a later stage as well.Day 1 Wednesday Oct 1209.00 Welcome and presentation of experts and round of introduction by participants (Jiri Vondrašek, Henrik Lantz).09.30 Lecture: Introduction to genome assembly and annotation (Henrik Lantz)10.00 Coffee break10.15 Lecture: Read QC (Mahesh Panchal)11.00 Practical: Assembly QC12.00 Lunch13.00 Practical: Assembly QC cont13.45 Lecture: Illumina assembly (Erik Hjerde)14.45 Coffee break15.00 Practical: Genome assembly using Illumina data17.00 EndDay 2 Thursday Oct 1309.00 Lecture Long read technologies (Christophe Klopp)10.00 Coffee break10.15 Practical: PacBio assembly12.00 Lunch13.00 Project discussion14.00 Lecture: Assembly validation (Martin Norling)14.45 Coffee break15.00 Practical: Assembly validation19.00 Working Dinner at Restaurace pod JuliskouDay 3 Friday Oct 1409.00 Lecture: Structural annotation (Lieven Sterck)10.00 Coffee break10.15 Lecture: Annotation of transposable elements (Joelle Amselem)11.15 Practical: Structural annotation12.00 Lunch13.00 Lecture: Functional annotation (Jacques Dainat)14.00 Practical: Functional annotation and wrap-up15.00 Coffee break15.15 Practical: Functional annotation and wrap-up cont.17.00 EndWorking Dinner at Restaurace pod Juliskou After this course, what kind of support would you need to efficiently continue to work with your own data?Looking at your own bioinformatics needs, what do you see as the greatest challenge in bioinformatics just now? Availability of compute resources? Training? Other?What other types of courses would you like ELIXIR to offer?Would you be interested in a short internship (1-2 weeks) at an expert bioinformatics center in another European country?VenueInstitute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry AS CRFlemingovo náměstí 2, Prague 6Building A, 4th floorSee Google MapThe Institute carries out fundamental research in organic chemistry, biochemistry and related disciplines, focusing in particular on medical and environmental applications.
