Genome annotation takes raw genome assemblies and adds biologically meaningful gene models. In this two-day, hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to build, evaluate, and interpret gene models with an emphasis on understanding how gene models are built and how biological function is assigned.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have a clear understanding of how gene models are generated, how different annotation strategies compare, and how to interpret and assign function to genes in a biologically meaningful way.
