Abstract:

With de novo assembly of bacterial genomes becoming a common work task for microbiologists, the technical barriers for analyzing and finding conclusions from the knowledge of a bacterial genomes are constantly decreasing. Here we will focus mainly on the different classes of assembly algorithms and their application in first, second and third generation sequencing and how to address genomic analysis.
