Tutorial: Assemble a large genome using Galaxy

By Anna Syme, Melbourne Bioinformatics, The University of Melbourne, Australian BioCommons. November 2021

Overview

• The aim of this tutorial is to demonstrate how to assemble a large plant or animal genome using tools and workflows in Galaxy. 

• The analysis will run with a smaller test-sized data set, but has been tested on real-sized data sets for large genomes of approximately 1 billion base pairs, or 1 Gbp. 

Prerequisites

• The tutorial content is designed for people with some familiarity with biology, DNA sequencing and genomics, but no specific knowledge is assumed.

• This tutorial will use the Galaxy Australia server. https://usegalaxy.org.au/
