Course description: This course will introduce the different protein sequence databases. You will learn to search for your sequence, identify it and also do some functional analysis. You will also learn about the different types of data and information you can extract: protein interactions, ontologies, pathways. The following resources will be covered: UniProt, IntAct, InterPro, Ontologies and Reactome.

Prerequisites and objectives: This course is intended for both experimental biologists and computational scientists. Participants will be assumed to have a basic understanding of biology but will not need to be computer scientists. The prime objective of the course is to convey an appreciation of the range and capabilities of the protein related services made available at the EBI

None of our current courses requires you to bring your own computer. However, if you want to bring a laptop and have it online we can arrange access via the University Lapwing wireless service.
