De novo genome assembly - IMB Winter School - 7 July 2015Torsten Seemann
This document discusses de novo genome assembly, which is the process of reconstructing the original DNA sequence from short fragment reads alone. Due to limitations in sequencing technology, the DNA must be broken into short reads which must then be reassembled like a jigsaw puzzle. Challenges include sequencing errors, repeats, and heterozygosity. Various algorithms and techniques are used to assemble the reads, including overlap layout consensus and de Bruijn graphs. Long read technologies help resolve repeats and scaffold contigs. Software recommendations for de novo assembly include SPAdes, Velvet, and CLC Genomics Workbench.

PUBLIC SPEAKING MASTERY - 7 Steps to become a world class speakerSumitKaushik74
Public speaking is a skill in communication
which is valued across business and
personal aspects of life. Many people fear
public speaking, but it is a form of
communication that can add real value to
your personal and business development as
well as building esteem or self worth.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

4. EFFECTIVE SPEAKING
MEANING:-
Fulfilling the purpose of speaking is called as Effective Speaking.
DIFFERENT TYPES EFFECTIVE SPEAKING:-
1) FACIAL EXPRESSION:-
The expression on the face is the most obvious aspect of effective
speaking. A cheerful face or a gloomy face influences most people. A cheerful or
appreciative smile, a displeased frown, a look of surprise and several other expressions
of the face can convey with or without words the attitude, feeling and reaction of the
communications. Expressions accompany the speaker’s words and also indicate the
listener’s reaction. An alert speaker can judge the listener’s reaction by facial
expression that act as a constant feedback. Eyebrows and lips are the most Mobil parts
of the face; an eyebrow raised unconsciously can convey disbelief or surprise. A frown
may convey displeasure or effort to concentrate, depending upon the context. Pursed
lips certainly do not convey friendliness.
2) EYE CONTACT: -
Eye movement is a key part of facial behavior, directing others attention
or showing surprise of happiness and other emotional displays.
The comfort level for eye contact is three seconds; if eye contact is held
longer than three seconds it can cause discomfort to the other person. Aggressive
persons try to fix others with a stare: anger may be expressed with extended eye
contact.
It is commonly believed that avoiding eye contact indicates that the
speaker is lying; yet some liars may hold unblinking eye contact and watch to see your
reaction. Persons who lack self-confidence also generally avoid eye contact. However
the rules and customs of cultures consider it impertinent for younger persons to look at
elders directly in the eye.
3) GESTURES:-
Gestures are the movement of handslegsbody: they are natural
accompaniment of speech: a person who does not make any movement while speaking
4
5. appears somewhat stiff mechanical. Gestures may or may not have specific meaning: a
clenched list may emphasize an important or convey determination or indicate
defense/opposition. As gestures are closely related to personality, no two persons
make exactly the same gestures; yet the general meaning is easily recognized.
The occasions, the size and nature of the audience influence speaker’s
gestures. On very occasions like employment, interview/conference, speaker’s use
fewer gestures (note: - T.V. news readers). In a relaxed situation, gestures are used
more freely.
4) ENERGY:-
Energy and enthusiasm as an aspect of effective speaking is hard to describe,
but most people have experienced the impact of a person with a high level of energy.
Some impress with high level of physical energy which is almost infectious: some have
high intellectual or emotional or spiritual energy. Whatever its source, energy conveys
competence and inspires respect. State of physical and mental health plays a large part
in effective speaking. A healthy person is energetic and maintains a certain level of
enthusiasm in the style: it is usually infectious and makes listeners also feels
enthusiastic.
5) VOLUME:-
Volume is the loudness or softness, which can be consciously adjusted to the
number of persons in the audience and the distance between the speakers and
listeners. Most persons speak at appropriate volume. Speaking too loud suggests lack
of self-command or a dominating nature. Loudness of voice is also influenced by one’s
surrounding and by cultural customs of the speaker. The volume of voice also indicates
the speaker’s confidence level: a well-prepared speaker is clearly audible to the
audience.
6) PITCH:-
Pitch is the high or low note on the scale. A high-pitch voice is often unpleasant
and suggests immaturity or emotional disturbance: a frighten person speaks in a high
pitched voice. It is better to begin softly, in a low pitch and raise the volume and pitch
as required. Pitch is affected by healthy and by state of mind.
5
6. 7) SPEED:-
Speed is partly a cultural habit and is partly influenced by emotions. Rapid
speech indicates excitement: we speak faster to tell an interesting story and reduce
speed to explain a difficult idea.
8) PRONOUNCIATION:-
Pronunciation means making a sound of a letter or a word.
Pronunciations should be correct and clear in order to be understood by others: it
indicates that the speaker is careful and has consideration for the audience.
9) ACCENT:-
Accent is the way a person makes the sound and pronounces the word of the
language. Every language has its own accent or way of forming the sound and its own
rhythm or intonation: we carry our mother tongue accent to other languages we learn.
Good accent in a new language is learnt by listening to native speaker of the language.
It is not necessary to try to imitate American or British accent; it is sufficient to speak
with clarity so that others understand what we say.
10) STRESS:-
Stress is the degree of force or loudness with which a word or a part of a
word is pronounced. Stress laid on a particular word in a sentence can change the
meaning and implication. Try reading the sentence, “were you there last night?” by
stressing a different word each time, and note the differences in the implied meaning.
11) SILENCE:-
Silence can be a very effective way of communication. It is not a negative
absence of speech but a positive withdrawal of suspension of speech. Silence is difficult
method of communication to use as it takes a good deal of self-control and self-
confidence to be able to hold one’s tongue. Silence can be very embarrassing if it is not
possible to interpret it. It can be awkward in a group, if no one knows how to break it.
Short silences or pauses are very effective in giving emphasis to words. A pause before
or after certain words makes the words stand out from the rest. A skillfully placed
pause has the power to make the listener more alert. In presentations, silence can be
used effectively to emphasize a point.
6
7. 12) SPACE:-
The way we use space plays a subtle role in body language. Individuals naturally
maintain a certain space between themselves in various social and interpersonal
situations. The distance we keep from the other person while speaking, indicates the
relationship: we keep a longer distance from a slight acquaintance and get closer to
persons with closer relationships; we maintain a respectful distance from and allow
more personal space to our superiors.
It is important not to invade others space in any situation. Four types of
distance indicate the relationship between persons:
Intimate space is 0 to 18 inches
Personal space is 18 inches to 4 feet
Social distance is 4 feet to 12 feet
Public distance is 12 feet to hearing and seeing distance.

8. PUBLIC SPEAKING
INTRODUCTION:
Public speaking is the process of speaking to a group of people in a structured,
deliberate manner intended to inform, influence, or entertain the listeners.
TRAINING:
Effective public speaking can be developed by joining a club such
as Rostrum, Toastmasters International, Association of Speakers Clubs (ASC), Speaking
Circles, or Power talk International, in which members are assigned exercises to improve
their speaking skills.
"Dos and Don’ts about Public Speaking"
Good public speaking requires certain qualities that seem to be the
prerogative of a select few. Though some of these qualities are inborn many of
them can be cultivated too. Extending some efforts at sharpening your public speaking or oratory
skills can go a long way to make you successful in your endeavors.
There are certain dos and don’ts that you need to always keep in mind if you wish to
achieve success via effectively communicating with the public. Here are the important things to
‘do’ about public speaking that you need to remember:
Do plan your speech in advance. Being prepared beforehand will enable you to feel confident
about speaking in front of the audience.
Do maintain eye contact with the audience. You should maintain good eye contact with those
listening to you.
Do make sure you are standing securely. You will end up being in an awkward situation if you
suddenly tip while speaking.
Do speak slowly while making use of carefully chosen words. Remember, usage of the
appropriate words in speech can produce a lasting impression in the minds of the listeners
and can create a great impact in conveying an idea.
Do breathe normally while speaking. You need to stay at ease while talking to the audience.
Do be at yourself. You need not don a different personality while speaking. This will make you
feel uncomfortable and also make the audience confused as your speech gets affected in this
way.
8
9. Do speak enthusiastically. No one prefers a speaker lacking in spirit. You need to ask thought-
provoking questions, make use of quotes relating to the subject of discussion and relate
startling facts- all to arouse the curiosity of the audience and draw their interest.
Now there are the things that you are advised not to do too in case of public
speaking. Here are some significant ‘don’ts’ about public speaking:
Don’t waver from the main message that you are seeking to convey. Always bear in mind that
the audience cannot retain more than two or three things presented in a speech. So, lay
emphasis on the main points while speaking.
Don’t ever start fidgeting in front of the audience while speaking. Even if you are not fully
confident of something you must take care not express it this way.
Don’t lean while speaking.
Don’t look down and maintain eye contact with your audience while delivering your speech.
Don’t make use of vocal pauses like ah, umm… etc. Make use of a proper word instead like
‘now’.
Don’t waste too much time on answering questions asked and clarifications sought by
listeners. You must make sure that the main message that you wish to express via your
speech is conveyed within the time allotted for your speech.

10. PRESENTATION
INTRODUCTION
A presentation is an oral account of what the speaker has to say about
particular topic and for a specific purpose. People make presentations for various purposes. A
sales representative makes a presentation about a product that he wants to sell in order to
persuade the customers to buy the product. An HR manager makes a presentation to inform the
company employees about the new policies or welfare measures. In a college, the professors
gives a presentation to explain a certain topic or a student’s give a presentation to explain the for
a presentation – to persuade, to inform, to explain etc.
METHODS OF PRESENTATION:-
Having planned out the presentation you have to decide upon the
method of presentation. In practice, three methods of presentation have been
observed.
1) READING:-
Many speakers write out their entire speeches and read them out
before the audience. The greatest advantage of this method is that accuracy is best
maintained in it. Winston Churchill is reputed for using a written script. But he was
a master orator who would frequently glance up from the script and maintain eye
contact with his audience. But not many speakers can do that. Most of us, in fact,
do not read aloud well. Most readers sink into dull monotones, miss punctuation
marks and fumble for words. So, this method has more disadvantages than
advantages.
2) MEMORIZED PRESENTATION:-
Many speakers are known to write and memorize speeches.
They have memory powerful enough to remember even the pauses. But, then, very
few have been able to do so effectively. The greatest disadvantage of this method is
that the speaker may forget some important point/part of the script. Trying to
locate it in the script, if it is with the speaker at the moment, spoils the entire effect
of the presentation. That is why most such speakers memorize key parts and use
notes to help them during the presentation.
10
11. 3) EXTEMPORANEOUS PRESENTATION:-
This is the most popular method used by really effective speaker.
They have carefully planned their speeches, but then they speak as if they were
getting the ideas, coherently arranged, on the spur of the moment. Whenever they
need any help they look into their notes that they keep handy. They don’t waste
time in memorizing speeches as it is a strenuous exercise. On the other hand,
looking into the notes, serially arranged, seems quite natural and the speech
delivered in this way also sounds spontaneous.
4) REHEARSE THE PRESENTATION:-
As a necessary part of the presentation, preparation is very
important. It is a private practice session to gain confidence and work towards self-
improvement. But it is best to rehearse as part of a team and invite suggestions for
improvement. The best part of team-rehearsal is mutual constructive criticism that
gives the speaker the advantage of feedback. In this way it goes a long way training
the speaker to be an effective communicator.
Rehearsing is not just to check the speech of the presentation,
but the flow of the entire event is not all. It gives the speaker a clear idea of where,
when, and how to introducing / bring in visual aids to support his presentation. Only
a rehearsal can ensure co-ordination of effort. Moreover, the team can also check
the location, seating arrangements, lighting and acoustics, the working of the
electronic equipment and so on.
5) PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES:-
It is an absolute necessity analyzes oneself before going on to
make a presentation. As has been said so succinctly, the speaker himself is
essentially a part of the message. The audience first sees the speaker, and then
listens to the spoken words. Hence the importance a presentable appearance
cannot be over emphasized. Since a presentation is a formal occasion, the speaker
must be formally dressed, but certainly not overdressed. If the speaker is well
prepared and properly dressed for the occasions he will not only look but also feel
confidence. And confidence is the primary characteristic of a successful
presentation.
PREPARATION FOR PRESENTATION:-
11
12. In order to make a successful presentation one has to take the following steps:
(a) Be clear about the occasion:
It means the person proposing to make a presentation must know the
purpose he wants to fulfill through his presentation. Is going to be a presentation
for a seminar or a conference, or the occasion of launching an exciting new
product? Is there sufficient time for the presentation and discussion thereafter?
It is also very important to know what has been happening till the time the
presentation is going to take place. Without this information the speaker will not
be able to understand the context. If, for example, the presentation is going too
made on an inaugural occasion, it is definitely the exciting time to put your best
food forward. On the other hand, if the organization has been facing some
financial problems and the audience has to be apprized of the situation, the
presentation has to be focused on vital statistics, inferences drawn their from and
positive suggestions.
(b) Analyze the audience:
Before making a presentation it is of utmost importance to understand for
whom it is meant. An audience is not just a gathering of individuals at one place. It has
collective personality of its own. The various aspects of group personality have to be
taken into account here. Besides, we must also consider the size of audience how
formal or informal the presentation on going to be, and the age, sex, education
background, experience, nationality of the audience, all of which have a great relevance
to the presentation.
Anyone can imagine how important it is to know whether one is going to
make a presentation before an all male, all female, or a mixed audience. It will
influence our choice of words, tones, need for detail and illustrations and so on. It will
also give us an idea of their expectation and their likely reactions to what we are going
to say. If we know anyone of them personally it will make the presentation more
effective. That is why it is quite advisable to try to meet the audience before the
presentation.
(c) Visit/have an idea of the location:
If possible, the location of the presentation should be visited before the
event. There is no wisdom in taking the location for granted. Much depends on the size
of the room, sitting arrangement, room temperature, lighting controls, public
12
13. equipments, audio-visual equipments, acoustics etc. if, for example, the room echoes
or resounds with the words we speak much of the presentation will be spoil.
If the audience is handled in a cramped space and feel uncomfortable in a
hot Indian summer afternoon the whole event will be waste of time. If the audience is
large and the public arrangements arte not satisfactory as is often the case both the
audience and the person making the presentation become bored.
(d) Plan out the presentation:
The next, and perhaps the most important steps towards making a
presentation is to be plan it out in writing in detail or at least in outline showing exactly
what you purpose to say in the beginning, the middle, and the end. A rough plan for
any presentation may he made as follows:-
Beginning:
1. Introductory remarks
2. Statement of the objective giving reasons why you are making this presentation
3. Draw the outline of the presentation
Middle
1. Break the main body of the presentation into short, clearly stated units. Not more
than 5-6 sections can be managed.
2. Illustrate the points with the examples.
3. Put a time limit on each of the points.
4. Prioritize the time limit.
End
1. Give a summary of the whole.
2. If need be refer to the points made in the beginning or in the middle for the sake of
emphasis.
3. Make final remarks and end on a positive note.
At this stage it is advisable to consult the sponsors of the event and being constant
touch with the co-presenter. After all it is going to be a team work, and several
minds are better than one.
