Finishing Lab Practice Using a Mouse Contig
Students can practice using Consed by working on a mouse contig. This exercise poses various challenges that students may encounter when working on their own projects.

Sanger Assembly
A Complex Drosophila Fosmid
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.
A Simple Drosophila Fosmid
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.
The D. grimshawi dot chromosome
This PowerPoint presentation explains our strategy, detailing the source of the raw sequence data for the D. grimshawi dot chromosome.
Workflow to Resolve Misassembly
A flowchart that illustrates the key decisions and strategies when dealing with misassemblies that are caused by collapsed repeats.
Common Misassembly Protocols
This document describes a list of protocols that are frequently used to resolve misassembly.
GEP Misassembly Tools User Guide
This document describes the list of tools developed by the GEP to facilitate incorporation of additional reads from the NCBI Trace Archive into a sequence improvement project. This document shows how to install the tools, and illustrates their use in two case studies (walkthroughs) of challenging fosmid assemblies.
Identifying and Sorting Tandem Duplications and an Inverted Repeat
Developed by the professional finishers at the WU Genome Institute (Holly Kotkiewicz and Jennifer Hodges), this walkthrough illustrates how you can use high quality discrepancies, Miniassembly, and cross_match to resolve a major misassembly in a D. ananassae project.
