Participants will learn the following:

• Download and install needed plugins.
• Import data required for the analysis.
• Long read de novo assembly.
• Map reads to a reference and visualize an assembly.
• Use BLAST to investigate the contigs.
• Additional long read tools: polish with short reads, structural variant calling.
• Genome finishing tools: analyze and assemble contigs
• Analytical tools: RNA-seq analysis for long reads, classify long read amplicons for metagenomics.
