9/15/2026 - Workshop - De Novo Genome Assembly Workshop
9/15/2026
1:00pm-3:00pm
G01 Biotech or via zoom
The workshop is hosted jointly by the BRC Bioinformatics, Genomics, and Flow Cytometry Facilities. It will cover the following topics:
- Introduction to long-read sequencing technologies
- Genome size estimation using flow cytometry
- Hands-on project: AI agent-assisted de novo genome assembly and genome annotation (The number of participants in the hands-on project are limited and will be provided with instructions for conducting the hands-on activities after the lecture portion of the workshop)
Format and Registration
The lecture (Jacob B Landis, Julie Sahler & Qi Sun) will be offered in person in Biotech B01 and simultaneously via Zoom. Zoom link will be sent out by email to registered users. The lecture will be recorded and made available online after the workshop.
Registration is required for participation in the hands-on project and the number of participants are limited. If you register for the waitlist, you will receive a zoom link and you are welcome to attend the lecture portion of the workshop.
9/18/2026 - Workshop - Beginner Fiji/ImageJ Workshop
9/18/2026
10:00am - 1:00pm
B30 Weill Hall
The workshop will be offered on three separate dates, and participants will attend only one session, as the same content will be presented at each workshop. To maintain a hands-on learning environment and provide opportunities for individualized assistance, each session is limited to 15 participants. Participants will be assigned to a workshop date based on their Fiji/ImageJ experience level and learning interests identified in the interest survey.
Registration is currently full. If you are interested in attending, please email brc_imaging@cornell.edu to be added to the waitlist.
