What would you most like to learn from this workshop (Select 2-3)

• Discuss extraction methods for high molecular weight DNA for marine systems
• Estimating genome size and ploidy (k-mer analysis, flow cytometry, etc.)
• Heterozygosity and how it impacts assembly
• Avoiding and identifying contamination
• PacBio HiFi vs Illumina (choosing between long-read and short-read technologies)
• Using existing transcriptome data to aid genome assembly and annotation
• Strategies for annotation in non-model organisms
• Low coverage approaches
• Addressing repeat-rich genomes and assembly fragmentation
