Course Overview
This course will provide an introductory overview of some of the most commonly used publicly accessible, tools and resources for genome browsing, functional genomics and phylogenetics. A separate registration will be available for those delegates interested in using proteomics in their research. Delegates will gain hands-on practice of using these data resources, interspersed with some lectures.
Audience
The course is aimed at bench-based researchers in the fields of medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, structural biology and chemical synthesis. The practical exercises use web-browser-based tools and assume little prior experience in bioinformatics.
Learning outcomes
After this course you should be able to:
- Access, browse and retrieve a range of data types from leading public repositories for genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic data
- Query leading bioinformatics databases efficiently
- Use some freely available software to analyse nucleotide sequence data and interpret phylogenetic analyses
