The workshop will cover both theoretical and practical aspects of advanced sequencing and bioinformatics approaches for analyzing the repeat composition of plant and animal genomes. Unlike previous workshops that primarily focused on using the RepeatExplorer pipeline to analyze repeats from unassembled sequence reads, this year’s workshop will center on:

“Repetitive DNA Annotation in Genome Assemblies.”

This shift in focus reflects the increasing availability of high-quality genome assemblies from large sequencing initiatives and individual research labs.
