Whole Genome Sequence Assembly and Annotation: the long and the short of it.

The Winter School is a intensive 5-day workshop on how to Assemble and Annotate Whole Sequence Data - with a focus on de novo whole genome assembly and analysis of complex Eukaryote genomes. The Winter School will combine lectures and computer based practicals and will be most valuable to those who have, or will soon have, whole genome sequence data.

Date: 4-9 February 2018
Where: Monte Veritá, Switzerland
