The Eukaryotic Genome Sequence Assembly and Annotation learning path is a structured training resource designed to support researchers in developing practical skills for assembling and annotating eukaryotic genomes. It provides a comprehensive learning pathway across three key domains: FAIR essentials, genome assembly, and genome annotation. Together, these domains introduce core concepts and methodologies, including sequencing technologies, assembly strategies, quality assessment, structural and functional annotation, and best practices for data management. The learning path also emphasises reproducibility, the application of community standards, and responsible data handling.

The development of the Eukaryotic Genome Sequence Assembly and Annotation learning path was a collaborative effort within the ELIXIR Biodiversity Community. It was created as part of an ELIXIR Implementation Study and refined through contributions from experts across the network, ensuring that the content reflects current practices and community needs.

ELIXIR Learning Paths

The Eukaryotic Genome Sequence Assembly and Annotation is an ELIXIR Learning Path. A distinctive feature of ELIXIR learning paths is that they are composed of training materials developed by multiple institutions, showcasing resources produced by diverse groups across Europe. Each topic in this learning path brings together materials from different providers, and as a result, some similarities between resources is expected.

Note: If you have training materials you would like to see included in this learning path, please contact the authors of this learning path.
