Genome Sequence Retrieval, Assembly & Quality analysis (NCBI):
Example link: www.ncbi.nlm.n...
Genome annotation is the process of identifying the locations of genes and all of the coding regions in a genome and determining what those genes do. Here are the general steps for bacterial genome annotation:
1. Sequencing:
Obtain the bacterial DNA sequence using sequencing technologies such as Illumina, PacBio, or Oxford Nanopore.
2.Preprocessing:
Quality control of the raw sequence data using tools like FastQC.
Trimming and filtering low-quality reads using tools like Trimmomatic or Cutadapt.
3. Genome Assembly:
Assemble the reads into contigs using assemblers like SPAdes, Velvet, or Canu. Scaffold the contigs into a complete genome using tools like SSPACE or using long-read data.
4. Gene Prediction:
Identify gene locations using ab initio prediction tools such as Prodigal, Glimmer, or GeneMark. Use homology-based methods by comparing the genome to known genes in databases using tools like BLAST.

Greetings, Can you please give some lectures on NGS both wet lab and dry lab? Thank you.

[@Prof.Dr.MuhammadNaveed]

sure, will share soon

[@afifaisrar1318]

Please let me know if we must submit the sequence and obtain the accession number first if we are using our own whole genome data?

[@hermainrais2280]

Asalam o alaekm sir I want to explore options in Bioinformatics as I am a graduate in Bioinformatics but want path guidance in one branch of Bioinformatics to gain expertise in
