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

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 …

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 …
