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, 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 …
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, 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 …
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 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 …
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 …
Welcome to ‘From DNA to Protein Function Using Bioinformatics’. In this step, we introduce the course content as well as share some useful information – such as the Glossary – …
Dr. Anna V. Protasio Lead Educator and Developer I am a researcher in molecular biology of infectious diseases and an instructor for the Pathogen Genomes course organised by the Wellcome …
In this article, you will learn how to write DNA sequences, and become familiar with the conventions that are used for its representation. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) …
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 …
