Assembly of Long-Read Sequencing with Galaxy (DSCRP) [webinar]
This is a Data Science Collaborative Research Platform (DSCRP) course and places are highly limited. If you are unable to attend, please de-register (or email graduateresearchschool@uq.edu.au if you are unable to do so). An unexplained absence could result in your future DSCRP registrations becoming Waitlisted.
Participants will learn how to perform de novo genome assembly using different bioinformatics tools. This workshop explores how Oxford Nanopore technologies long read data and Illumina short read data can be combined to produce a high-quality genome assembly. We will use a bacterial genome as an example. We will also cover how to assess the quality of a genome assembly. The workshop will use the Galaxy Australia platform that provides a simple and user-friendly interface to bioinformatics tools.
Recommended Participants
Biologists and other life scientists planning to work with long-read (ONT) and Illumina data for genome assemblies. No prior bioinformatics knowledge is required.
Presenter: Valentine Murigneux, Senior Bioinformatician, Data Science Collaborative Research Platform
By registering, you are consenting to the release of your name and email address to DSCRP for attendance purposes. Full attendance is expected.

RCC supports Hacky Hour UQ, which is currently being held online. Hacky Hour is a weekly meetup, held Tuesdays, 1pm–2pm (AEST), for UQ researchers to ask research-related technical issues to do with:
- High-performance computing
- cloud computing
- virtual machines
- data storage
- data security
- data cleanup
- automated workflows
- data pipelines
- virtual desktops
- Python
- R
- Linux
- Software and Data Carpentry
- Bioinformatics.
When: Hacky Hour UQ occurs each Tuesday, 1pm–2pm (AEST). Occasionally, it is cancelled if no RCC and Data Science CRP experts are available that day.
Where: Hacky Hour will be held via Zoom video conference. For Zoom meeting details please email rcc-support@uq.edu.au.
