Animal genome assembly and annotation
Genomic data has become a corner stone in modern biological research. However, while sequencing is becoming increasingly affordable, the technical details in generating a draft assembly and its subsequent annotation require a wide range of bioinformatics tools – including assembly validation, transcriptome assembly, repeat analysis, gene structure prediction and functional annotation. Within de.NBI, this service project by IKMB Kiel University provides guidance and hands-on support for groups interested in conducting a de novo genome project, with a particular focus on metazoan species and farm animals.
