Learn Step by Step Genome Assembly & Annotation in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

Turn raw DNA sequencing data into meaningful biological insights. In this practical, hands-on bioinformatics course, you’ll learn how to perform genome assembly and annotation for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms using real datasets and powerful open-source tools.

Whether you’re a student, researcher, or bioinformatics enthusiast, this course will help you master skills used in genomics, biotechnology, medicine, and evolutionary biology. No prior programming experience is required. We start from the basics and guide you through each step.

What You’ll Learn

• Perform quality control and preprocessing of sequencing reads

• Assemble genomes with tools like SPAdes and Flye

• Annotate genes using Prokka and AUGUSTUS

• Add functional data with BLAST and Pfam

• Visualize genomes using Quast

• Build reproducible pipelines with Bash scripting

• Work confidently with both prokaryotic and eukaryotic datasets

Who This Course Is For

• Biology and bioinformatics students

• Researchers and lab technicians

• Educators teaching genomics hands-on

• Self-learners curious about genome analysis

What You Need

Just a computer, internet connection, and basic biology knowledge. We’ll guide you through setting up your bioinformatics environment and provide downloadable scripts for practice.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to take raw sequencing reads, assemble a genome, annotate it, visualize results, and prepare them for publication or database submission.
