Hybrid genome assembly - Nanopore and Illumina
Abstract
Assemble a genome! Learn how to create and assess genome assemblies using the powerful combination of Nanopore and Illumina reads.
About This Material
This is a Hands-on Tutorial from the GTN which is usable either for individual self-study, or as a teaching material in a classroom.
Questions this will address
- How do long- and short-read assembly methods differ?
Learning Objectives
- Understand how Nanopore and Illumina reads can be used together to produce a high-quality assembly
- Become familiar with genome assembly and polishing programs
- Learn how to assess the quality of a genome assembly, regardless of whether a reference genome is present or absent
- Be able to assemble an unknown, previously undocumented genome to high-quality using Nanopore and Illumina reads!
