Genome Assembly and Annotation
De novo genome assembly produces an ordered nucleotide sequence of an entire genome as contiguous scaffolds of DNA. Genome annotation infers the structure and function of the assembled sequences based on homology searches of protein coding and non-coding genes. The availability of gene expression data and protein expression data from the same organism generates evidence-based, more accurate genome annotation.
Requirements
- Short or long DNA sequence reads of adequate coverage (50x or higher).
Deliverables
- Assembled DNA scaffolds in FASTA format.
- Genome summary statistics and quality metrics.
- Identified genes and their functional annotations.
