Dear all,
we're happy to share details about our upcoming Physalia online course: Introduction to Genome Annotation, taking place 19–22 May.
This practical course will guide participants through key aspects of annotation workflows, including:
Sample quality and sequencing platform selection
Transcriptome assembly (ab initio and de novo)
Evidence-guided gene prediction (e.g., BRAKER, Augustus)
Building and assessing gene models
Approaches to genome-specific challenges
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Set up and run a full annotation pipeline
Apply best practices to address annotation challenges
Use standard tools for gene prediction and evaluation
