Lecture Notes on Genomics: Understanding Sequenced Genomes
These lecture notes cover Topic 13, focusing on the fundamentals of genomics. The notes explain the genome sequencing, from collecting tissue samples and extracting DNA to sequencing using Illumina technology. They detail the steps involved in aligning reads, forming contigs, and improving genome assemblies with genetic maps. Additionally, they explore gene annotation and the role of bioinformatics in genome assembly and annotation, providing a comprehensive overview of what a sequenced genome looks like and the methodologies involved.
