Hands-on for 'Unicycler assembly of SARS-CoV-2 genome with preprocessing to remove human genome reads' tutorial

View material

The questions this addresses are:
- How can a genome of interest be assembled against a background of contaminating reads from other genomes?
- How can sequencing data from public sources be turned into assembly-ready polished datasets?

The objectives are:
- Obtain viral (SARS-CoV-2) sequencing data with contaminating human reads from public sources
- Organize the data into collections and check its quality
- Detect and remove human reads
- Assemble retained reads and explore the results
