BI101 Introduction to DNA and Protein Sequence Analysis June 25-29, 2012 Live, Online at Bioinformatics.Org http://www.bioinformatics.org/wiki/BI101 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- OBJECTIVES: This course teaches the individual how to analyze DNA and protein sequences using computer software. Topics to be covered include description of sequence alignments, search, formats, and various command line tools such as BLAST, FASTA, HMMER and editing software such as Geneious, Jalview, etc. INSTRUCTOR: Shailender Nagpal SYLLABUS: The course is divided into 4 sessions, roughly 1-1.5 hours each. Homework assignments will involve running computationally intensive tools. Session 1: Fundamentals of DNA and protein alphabets, representations, patterns, structures and annotations Session 2: DNA and protein sequence alignments: local, global and multiple; demonstration of tools to perform these alignments Session 3: Sequence database searches using BLAST, FASTA and SSEARCH Session 4: Additional DNA sequence analysis applications, such as gene finding, genome annotation and assembly Lecture schedule: Monday through Thursday, 16:00-17:30 GMT REGISTRATION: http://www.bioinformatics.org/edu/ACTG FOR MORE INFORMATION: http://www.bioinformatics.org/wiki/BI101_Introduction_to_DNA_and_Protein_Sequence_Analysis Or contact: e...@bioinformatics.org Cheers, Jeff -- J.W.
