A Framework Approach for Quality Feature Analysis of Genome Assemblies

Abstract

Firstly, I am really thankful for all who have motivated me to start a Master in Informatics. It was such a great experience, and now everything begins to become clearer in my career goals.Many thanks to BioBD students, and master student colleagues, in listening to me, criticizing, and sharing hard and good times.Personal and Professional thanks to my advisor, Sergio Lifschitz, the first one to believe me, and to convince me, that a good biologist, may be a great bioinformatician. Thank you for helping me going beyond.I acknowledge the big support I received from Fernanda Baiao and Marcos Catanho, and from the jury, Simone Junqueira, Ruy Milidiu, and Antonio Basilio. Your attention and interest were crucial to me.Finally, special thanks to close people. First Ema and Livia, by often good lab discussions. Friends and Family, that always gave me emotional support to keep all up. And to my dear husband, who helped emotionally, and actively in parallel work, giving me more time to study.I am thankful for receiving this opportunity from God, to study for long 6 years at PUC, and now, having the grace to become a Master of Science and going abroad as a scientist.This study was financed in part by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior -Brasil (CAPES) Finance Code 001.
