Recorded webinar

A guide to sequence similarity search for biomolecular sequences

This webinar aims to provide an introduction to basic concepts in sequence similarity search with a focus on the similarity search tools and databases provided by EMBL-EBI. In this webinar, we will also provide useful tips on which tools and databases to use, and explore some examples of use cases using BLAST.

Who is this course for?

Anyone interested in detecting homologous sequences. No previous bioinformatics experience is required, but an undergraduate-level knowledge of biology would be recommended.

Outcomes

By the end of the webinar you will be able to:

Describe what sequence similarity searching is and why it is important
Identify sequence search tools and biological databases at EMBL-EBI
Perform BLAST sequence searches against different EMBL-EBI databases
Explore different input formats, different parameters options, and how to interpret the results
