Course Overview
This workshop will give an introduction to the protein sequence analysis & classification database Interpro.
Interpro is a bioinformatics resource that provides functional analysis of protein sequences by classifying them into families and predicting the presence of domains and important sites. To classify proteins in this way, InterPro uses predictive models, known as signatures, provided by several different databases (referred to as member databases) that make up the InterPro Consortium
Audience
This workshop is aimed at researchers who wish to know more about the InterPro resource provided by EMBL-EBI. No computational or previous bioinformatics experience is required for this workshop, but an undergraduate level understandingof biology would be beneficial.
This workshop is primarily run for Cambridge University staff and students, but external participants can apply for a place on the course.
