9-9.30

Lecture: “Intro to long-read and hybrid genome assembly” (Astrid Rasmussen)

• Understand how and why different assembly methods generate different assemblies
  
• Understand how short and long reads can be combined to generate a high quality complete genome
  

9.30-11

Practical: “Long-read and hybrid assembly” (Astrid Rasmussen)

• Generate a de novo bacterial genome assembly from long reads
  
• Generate a hybrid bacterial genome assembly with long and short reads
  

11-12

Practical: “Genome assembly comparison” (Astrid Rasmussen)

• Perform basic comparison of multiple assemblies
