In light of the advent of DNA sequencing technologies, genomic analysis of microbes is “democratized” to the level where “anyone” can sequence “anywhere”. Portable nanopore sequencing device that enables extreme long reads without the need for large initial investment especially contributed to this accessibility. Therefore, it is now economically feasible to sequence the entire genome instead of a single amplified gene to answer certain questions. In this workshop, we train students to go through the entire process of 1. Long DNA extraction and purification, 2. Nanopore sequencing, 3. Bioinformatics of genome assembly and annotation, and 4. Writing Genome Report paper for submission to international archives.
