Unicycler assembly of SARS-CoV-2 genome with preprocessing to remove human genome reads

Abstract

In some research or clinical contexts it is not possible, or very hard, to

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 can a genome of interest be assembled against a background of contaminating reads from other genomes?
  • How can sequencing data from public sources be turned into assembly-ready polished datasets?

Learning Objectives

  • Obtain viral (SARS-CoV-2) sequencing data with contaminating human reads from public sources
  • Organize the data into collections and check its quality
  • Detect and remove human reads
  • Assemble retained reads and explore the results
