Organised by Biodiversity Genomics Academy
Introduction
Biodiversity Genomics Academy 2024 (BGA24) is a series of free, open to all, nline-only, short and interactive sessions on how to use the bioinformatics tools and approaches that underpin the Earth BioGenome Project and the field as a whole.

Programme
- Introduction to k-mer spectra, their interpretation and running GenomeScope (~30')
- Ex. 1: Running and understanding genome models (~30')
- Looking under the hood of the GenomeScope model (~20')
- Ex. 2: Running GenomeScope-like model yourself in R; Using GenomeTelescope package (~20')
- Discussion/Interpretation of wild k-mer spectra (~20')
- We will bring a bunch of examples; but feel free to bring your own wild k-mer spectrum to share with others!
Description
- We will bring a bunch of examples; but feel free to bring your own wild k-mer spectrum to share with others!
Description
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Appreciate the art of the k-mer spectra gazing
- Understand the idea behind genomescope model and its assumptions
- Generate k-mer spectrum from a read set
- Run GenomeScope in command-line and web-server
- (if everything goes well) Create your own GenomeScope-like extended versions;
