Course: Bacterial Genomes I: From DNA to Protein Function Using Bioinformatics

In this video, Dr Claire Chewapreecha explains how she uses next-generation sequencing to understand bacterial evolution and genetic culprits associated with virulence. She is focusing on a tropical infectious disease …

What you have learnt in your second week In this second week, you have learnt about homology within protein sequences and how can this be used to infer their function. …

In this video, Martin Aslett demonstrates how to use public databases to collect information about a protein sequence. These pieces of information will assist us in inferring the potential function …

In this article you will learn how protein annotation is completed on a large scale. The process of manual annotation of protein sequences is very laborious. With vast numbers of …

In this video we demonstrate how to download DNA and/or protein sequences from public repositories. We use two popular repositories: NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology and Information) and ENA (European …

What you have learned so far In this first week, you have learnt how to read and write DNA and protein sequences, how to save these sequences in files with …

In this article, you will become familiar with another bioinformatic file type – the GenBank file format. The Genbank format allows for the storage of information in addition to a …

In this article, you will learn more about the reverse strand of DNA and its representation. Based on what we have learned so far about conventions, what would be the …
