Genome Assembly of MRSA from Oxford Nanopore MinION data (and optionally Illumina data)

Abstract

Sequencing (determining of DNA/RNA nucleotide sequence) is used all over

About This Material

This is a Hands-on Tutorial from the GTN which is usable either for individual self-study, or as a teaching material in a classroom.

Questions this will address

  • How to check the quality of the MinION data (together with Illumina data)?
  • How to perform an assembly of a bacterial genome with MinION data?
  • How to check the quality of an assembly?

Learning Objectives

  • Run tools to evaluate sequencing data on quality and quantity
  • Process the output of quality control tools
  • Improve the quality of sequencing data
  • Run a tool to assemble a bacterial genome using short reads
  • Run tools to assess the quality of an assembly
  • Understand the outputs of tools to assess the quality of an assembly
