Genome assembly using long-reads

Training course in the life sciences listed on ELIXIR's TeSS training portal, run by VIB, in Zwijnaarde, Belgium on 25 January 2027. High-quality genome assemblies are essential for understanding the biology, evolution, and functional genomics of organisms. Advances in long-read sequencing technologies, such as Oxford Nanopore, now make it possible to generate highly accurate reference genomes, even for complex or repetitive regions.
