W7_L7.1: Genome assembly: introduction

Welcome to Week 7 Lecture 7 Part 1 of the course "Big Data and Biological Networks" by Dr. Nirav P Bhatt , Karthik Raman , Prof. Himanshu Sinha. Full Course: https://study.iitm.ac.in/ds/course_pa... Video Overview In this lecture, we introduce the fundamentals of genome assembly and understand why it plays a crucial role in modern biology and genomics. The video discusses how raw sequencing reads are processed and combined to reconstruct entire genomes. We explore the major challenges in genome assembly such as repetitive regions, read errors, and sequencing limitations that complicate accurate reconstruction. The concept of k-mers is explained in detail, including how they are generated from sequences and how they support assembly algorithms by breaking sequences into overlapping fragments. This lecture sets the foundation for advanced genome assembly strategies that will be covered in upcoming videos. For more details, visit: https://study.iitm.ac.in/ds/course_pa...
