The EMBL-EBI eLearning pilot project
We are currently redesigning the EBI e-learning portal. For any comments/ideas, please contact the e-learning Content Developer.
Welcome to the EMBL-EBI's pilot eLearning project, kick-started with funding from the UK Department of Trade and Industry as part of our Support Forum for Small-to-medium enterprises. Our aim is to ensure that you can learn to make the most of the EMBL-EBI's data resources and tools in your own time, and at your own pace. We also hope that these eLearning courses will serve as a useful adjunct to our face-to-face training projects.
EBI and EB-eye
| This course provides an introduction to the EBI and shows you how to use the EB-eye global search engine. It is also the place to go for help and advice with this and the other EBI Training courses. You will also find forums where you can interact with other EBI Training users. |
|
Sequence Searching
| This course will teach you how to perform sequence similarity searches on the EBI databases. Here, you can learn how to use the basic local alignment search tool BLAST, learn how to change BLAST's parameters to optimise your search, learn about other alignment tools (such as FASTA, MPSrch and SSAHA) and when you might want to use them, find out how to search for patterns, profiles and Hidden Markov Models in a sequence, and learn to build your own profiles using PSI- BLAST. You also have access to a Glossary of key terms associated with sequence searching. |
|
Patent Searching
| This course covers patent searching in the EBI databases. You will learn about the patent resources available at the EBI, how to search for full-text patents, how to use text- and sequence-based search methods to find patents relevant to a particular gene or protein, how to use the EBI's sequence version archives to find the original sequences associated with a patent, and how to downlaod patent sequences. |
|
Literature Searching
| This course will help you to make the most of the EBI's literature resources. You will learn how to use CiteXplore, the EBI's portal to the literature, and find out which literature databases you can search using CiteXplore. You will also learn how to use the EBI's literature mining (or 'text mining') tools Whatizit, EBIMed and Protein Corral. You also have access to a Glossary of key terms associated with literature searching and mining. |
|
Ensembl
 | Welcome to the Ensembl Genome Browsing course. This course offers a glimpse into genes and annotation of more than 39 species. Ensembl focuses mostly on vertebrate genomes. Ensembl genes are determined using biological data from wet-lab experiments. The determination of genes and how to see annotation associated with them along the genome will be covered. You will also be introduced to BioMart, Ensembl's data retrieval tool, along with comparative genomics studies and variations across species and even individuals.
|
|
Transcriptomics
| This course provides an introduction to Transcriptomics incorporating and using the related EBI resources and practicals, trainer-guided demonstration of when, why and how to use them. You will learn about different microarray applications, designing a microarray experiment, microarray data analysis and links to other EBI resources for microarray gene set analysis. |
