EMBL-EBI Workshop: Bioinformatics resources for protein biology
Are you aware of the wide range of protein data resources that can easily be accessed and explored to enhance your research? Do you want to know more about the sequence of your protein and its functions? Wondered whether a structure of your protein exists and how to explore it? Want to know more about the potential complexes and reaction pathways your protein of interest is involved in, giving you a better overview of its biological context?
This three day workshop will introduce you to data resources and tools developed by EMBL-EBI that can help you in your protein studies. Each day will focus on a particular protein topic, with the aim of helping you get more from your data and also to explore publically-available data that can further support your research.
Workshop topics:
Day 1: Where can I find protein sequence, classification and comparison information?
Day 2: How do I choose a “good” protein structure and what can I learn from it?
Day 3: What interactions, complexes and pathways is my protein involved in?
Who is this course for?
This workshop is aimed at anyone interested in finding out more about protein biology. No prior experience of bioinformatics is required, but participants should have an undergraduate level understanding of biology. Those who are graduate students, postdocs and staff members from the University of Cambridge, affiliated institutions and other external Institutions or individuals, are invited to apply.
What will I learn?
Learning outcomes
At the end of the workshop you should be able to:
- Access and explore a range of appropriate protein resources
- Use these resources to retrieve relevant protein information
- Apply the information you have discovered in your research
Course content
- Protein sequence databases
- Finding and analysing macromolecular structures at the PDBe
- Interactions and pathways
- Protein families and functional classification (InterPro, Pfam, HMMER)
