Genome assembly using PacBio data
Abstract
In this tutorial, we will assemble a genome of a species of fungi in the family Aspergillus, Aspergillus niger, from PacBio sequencing data. These data will be downloaded from ENA. The quality of the assembly obtained will be analyzed, in particular by comparing it to a reference assembly, available on ENA.
