Genomics
Explore a comprehensive genomics course covering essential bioinformatics techniques for beginners. Learn genome assembly and annotation using Illumina reads and SPAdes, perform genome comparisons with BRIG software, and combine Nanopore and Illumina reads for improved assemblies. Master bacterial genome analysis, including annotation with Prokka and comparative genomics. Create phylogenetic trees using MUSCLE, PHYML, and RAxML, and visualize them with iTOL. Discover genome visualization techniques using CGView and Artemis (DNAPlotter). Identify antimicrobial resistance genes with Abricate, create Manhattan plots of FST values using Python, and assemble genomes from Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) reads using FLYE. Gain hands-on experience through tutorials and practical exercises to develop essential skills in genomic analysis and interpretation.
