DESCRIPTION:Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has been revolutionized by the de
 velopment of long-read sequencing technologies in the last few years. Driv
 en in no small part by Oxford Nanopore technologies (https://nanoporetech.
 com/) and Pacific Biosciences\, HiFi (https://www.pacb.com/technology/hifi
 -sequencing/)\, we now have the ability to sequence long (mb+) single-mole
 cule DNA fragments. Although these developments are expected to alleviate 
 numerous computational challenges surrounding genome analysis they also br
 ing some interesting bioinformatics challenges to which we have to adapt i
 n order to get the most from this powerful technology.\n\n This exciting c
 ourse aims to introduce the principles and practice using long-read data a
 nalysis with a focus on Oxford Nanopore data. We will present the cutting-
 edge software and best practices tried and tested by our expert bioinforma
 ticians here at Edinburgh Genomics.
