Course: Bacterial Genomes II: Accessing and Analysing Microbial Genome Data Using Artemis

Many thanks to all those who are and were involved in the ‘Bacterial Genomes: Accessing and Analysing Microbial Genome Data’ course’s development, refinements, and presentations. Course Lead Educators and Lead …

We hope you have enjoyed your time with us. During the length of this three-week course you have become familiar with whole genome sequences, and the tools we can use …

You have reached the end of the course. Congratulations! Completing the course has helped you to: discover the basic principles of microbial bioinformatics analysis, and comparative genomics acquire skills in …

In this Project we looked at the reductive evolution shown in Myobacterium leprae which has resulted in specific genomic and subsequently metabolic changes that makes M. lepae dramatically different from …

In this Step you will explore 5 different pseudogenes across the Mycobacterium leprae genome, you will investigate their annotation and make comments on their GC content. Previously we described just …

In this Step, you will learn how to download a full genome sequence and annotation files for a whole bacterial genome, from a public repository. You will also learn how …

In this Step, we will use Artemis. We will isolate a region of interest in the Salmonella typhi genome. We will analyse this region and save it in various file …

In this Step, we will learn that GC content changes along a genome. We will also learn to display GC content in Artemis and what genome features can be associated …

In this interview, Professor Julian Parkhill, from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, talks with Dr. Anna Protasio. He answers our questions on pathogenicity islands, describing what they are and explaining their …

In this short video, we will review the concept of GC content and calculation using windows. We will also show a short demonstration in Artemis. We can calculate the percentage …

In this Video Step, Martin Aslett demonstrates how you can open an annotation file in Artemis and examine the information that it contains. You are welcome to follow along on …

In this Step we will learn about the GC (guanine-ctytosine) content of a DNA and how to calculate it. This will be useful for later Steps. One of the characteristics …

In this article we learn how information about genes and proteins found in genomes can be stored in files. Genomic features that are found in the genome can be stored …

In addition to finding where genes are in the genome, it is possible to find more information about the function of the proteins they encode. Almost universally, sequence similarity tools …

In this course we will focus on the annotation of coding sequence, that is to say, those regions of the genome that form the template for making proteins. From now …
