ABOUT

ELIXIR-FR in collaboration with IFB and CIRAD are pleased to announce a Plant Genome Assembly and Annotation event.

 

Fee

There is no course attendance fee. The participants will need to bear their travel and hotel (if any). ELIXIR-FR, Cirad and Agropolis will cover coffee breaks and lunches costs.

Description

The course is aimed at scientists interested in learning more about plant 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 step-by-step to 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 know how to run assembly and annotation projects.

Learning Objectives:

  • Improve your knowledge of plant genomics (complexity)
  • Discuss current or future sequencing projects
  • Understand the difficulties of assembly, know assembly workflows, metrics provided by tools and practice
  • Know different annotation workflows of genes encoding proteins, evaluate the quality of the results, identify the technological issues and practice
  • Know different transposable element annotation workflows, evaluate the quality of the results, identify the technological issues and practice

Prerequisites

  • Knowledge in bioanalysis (Blast)
  • Basic genomic knowledge
  • Basic linux command line knowledge
  • Practice of English

 

ABOUT

We will accept a maximum of 20 participants. Priority will be given to candidates from Elixir- France and ELIXIR nodes. Notifications of acceptance will be sent shortly after the application, which will remain open until we reach 20 participants.
