Presenter:
Dr. Ivan Liachko, CEO/CSO, Phase Genomics Inc., Seattle, WA; Dept. of Genome Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, WA
Presentation Title:
A rapid method for end-to-end genome assembly, pathogen discovery, and metagenomic deconvolution
Summary:
I will describe the Hi-C method and its adaptation toward scaffolding of genomes and metagenomic deconvolution. I will give examples of our work scaffolding large genomes (plant/animal/fungal) as well as assembling prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes from mixed microbial communities.
