BLAST and multiple sequence alignments are essential methods commonly used to find and compare protein or nucleotide sequences. In this webinar, we will demonstrate how you can access and run these sequence analysis tools in UniProt, a comprehensive resource of protein sequence and function. We will show you how to navigate the results and how you can exploit UniProt protein annotation to expand further the analysis of your results.

Who is this course for?

This webinar is aimed at students or early stage researchers beginning to use bioinformatics resources in their studies/research who wish to learn how to run a BLAST or a sequence alignment in UniProt. No prior knowledge of bioinformatics is required, but undergraduate level knowledge of biology would be useful.

Outcomes

By the end of the webinar you will be able to:
•    Use Align and BLAST sequence analysis tools
•    Retrieve and analyse the results
