​Why do we sequence DNA? Importance in research, medicine, and biotech. Milestones in sequencing.
​**Sequencing Technologies**
​Short-read (Illumina) vs. long-read (Oxford Nanopore/PacBio) sequencing: key differences and tradeoffs. Introduction to raw data formats: FASTQ, quality scores.
​**Genome Assembly Principles**
​What is genome assembly and why is it necessary. Key computational challenges
​**Practical Aspects and Tools**
​Typical workflow for assembling a genome. Tools & libraries
