Unicycler assembly of SARS-CoV-2 genome with preprocessing to remove human genome reads
Below are video tutorials for this GTN material, created for various (past) events.
Tutorial Video (February 2021)
Description:
This tutorial guides you through the preprocessing of sequencing data of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples obtained from early COVID-19 patients in China. Since such samples are expected to be contaminated signficantly with human sequenced reads, the goal is to enrich the data for SARS-CoV-2 reads by identifying and discarding reads of human origin before trying to assemble the viral genome sequence.
