This hands-on course introduces biologists and bioinformaticians to the principles and practice of manual genome curation, including:

• Interpreting Hi-C heatmaps to identify and fix assembly errors
• Generating curated genome FASTA files using the Rapid Curation pipeline
• Handling challenging genomes, including microchromosomes, high heterozygosity, and sex chromosomes
• Participants will gain practical experience using PretextView, understand the steps necessary to deliver high-quality chromosome assemblies, and explore additional tools for effective genome curation.
