This fosmid from Drosophila virilis assembles into three contigs (a yellow clone). In this exercise, students must generate a final assembly by closing a gap, dealing with a mis-assembly, and improving low quality regions. Snapshots of the different stages of the assembly are stored as separate ace files.
This fosmid from Drosophila virilis assembles into a single contig (a green clone). In this exercise, students will need to identify regions in the assembly where additional data is needed and design additional sequencing reactions to bring the contig up to quality standards.
Students can practice using Consed by working on two Drosophila projects. This exercise poses various challenges that students may encounter when working on their own projects.
A training document similar to “An Introduction to Consed,” this document contains a more detailed walkthrough that explores additional functions available in Consed.
