DESCRIPTION:High-quality genome assemblies are essential for understanding 
 the biology\, evolution\, and functional genomics of organisms. Advances i
 n long-read sequencing technologies\, such as Oxford Nanopore\, now make i
 t possible to generate highly accurate reference genomes\, even for comple
 x or repetitive regions. This hands-on training introduces you to the pri
 nciples and practical steps of genome assembly with long reads. You will l
 earn how to design efficient sequencing strategies\, process and assess ra
 w reads\, execute assembly workflows\, and evaluate the quality of the fin
 al genome. By the end of the training\, you will have the knowledge and sk
 ills to make informed decisions throughout an assembly project and prepare
  a robust foundation for downstream analyses.  This training combines pra
 ctical exercises with expert guidance. You will have the opportunity to wo
 rk with the demonstrated tools and can choose to use your own datasets. An
  optional follow-up Q&amp\;A session is scheduled to address questions rel
 ated to tools\, parameter choices\, and interpretation of results.
