This webinar will introduce users to the long read support plugin for Oxford Nanopore and PacBio sequencing reads in QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench.

Participants will learn how to:

• Download and install needed plugins

• Import data required for the analysis

• Perform long read de novo assembly

• Map reads to a reference and visualize an assembly

• Use BLAST to investigate the contigs

• Use additional long read tools: polish with short reads, structural variant calling

• Use genome finishing tools: analyze and assemble contigs

• Use analytical tools: RNA-seq analysis for long reads, classify long read amplicons for metagenomics
