Description

By the end of this session you will:

1. Be aware of the challenges of accurate TE annotation
2. Have experience of setting up the Earl Grey TE annotation environment
3. Have experience of annotating a genome assembly with Earl Grey, and of interpreting the results

Prerequisites

1. Basic understanding of transposable element classes
2. Basic understanding of linux operating systems, including navigating folder structures and running commands
3. Awareness of package managers might be useful (ie Conda/Docker), but not essential

Please make sure you MEET THE PREREQUISITES and READ THE DESCRIPTION above

You will get the most out of this session if you meet the prerequisites above.
