SeRC is arranging a workshop on genome assembly on May 21st. Topics will range from “best practices” to presentations of new methods and software. There are currently several large-scale genome projects in the Nordics countries and the aim is to share and discuss what we have learnt and what we have done.
We start at 9 and end at 17:30, see the agenda below!
Contact Lars Arvestad <arve@nada.su.se> if you want to participate!
