This web page will guide you through the genome assembly and read mapping activities we have planned for you today!
Ellie Armstrong: Ellie Armstrong is a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Washington Research Foundation in the lab of Joanna Kelley (UCSC). She previously received her PhD at Stanford University with Dmitri Petrov and Liz Hadly, where she worked on the genomics of large carnivores. Ellie has assembled genomes from many species across the tree of life including the lion, the african wild dog, Hawaiian spiders, birds, lichens, foxes, macaques, flies, and several other big cats. She will soon start her own group as an Assistant Professor of Evolutionary Genomics at the University of California, Riverside, where she will continue to study the genomics of carnivores in the Anthropocene.
