InterPro
Trainer: Typhaine Paysan-Lafosse
This session will introduce InterPro’s protein annotation database and teach programmatic access through APIs, with a focus on protein families and domains. Following an introductory lecture, attendees will engage in hands-on activities to practice retrieving these specific features using guided API queries. The session combines theoretical foundations with practical experience in automated data retrieval from InterPro.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Execute basic queries to retrieve protein family and domain information using the InterPro API.
- Customise API requests to integrate InterPro annotations into bioinformatics workflows to enhance protein annotation and functional analysis.
Materials:
- Presentation slides
- InterPro API Training – Google Colab Notebook
- The file format of the notebook (if the Google Colab is blocked for you)
