About the course
Computational
Biology and Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that develops
and applies computational methods to analyse large collections of biological
data, such as genetic sequences, cell populations or protein samples, to make
new predictions or discover new biology.
The
course is designed for individuals with no prior knowledge of Computational Biology.
Highlights
of the BasicComputational Course
· Introduction to
biological databases; Primary, secondary and composite databases; Nucleic acid
databases (GenBank, DDBJ, EMBL and NDB); Protein databases (PIR, SWISS-PROT,
TrEMBL, PDB); Metabolic pathway database (KEGG, EcoCyc, and MetaCyc); Small
molecule databases (PubChem, Drug Bank, ZINC, CSD)
· Generation of data
(Gene sequencing, Protein sequencing, Mass spectrometry, Microarray), Sequence
submission tools (BankIt, Sequin, Webin); Sequence file format (flat file,
FASTA, GCG, EMBL, Clustal, Phylip, Swiss-Prot); Sequence annotation; Data
retrieval systems (SRS, Entrez).
· Scoring Matrices
(PAM, BLOSUM), Methods of Alignment (Dot matrix, Dynamic Programming, BLAST and
FASTA); Local and global alignment, pair wise and multiple sequence alignments;
Similarity, identity and homology of sequences.
· Structural Bioinformatics (3-D protein, PDB), Functional genomics (genome- wide and high throughput approaches to gene and protein function), Drug discovery method (Basic concepts)
The things you will
learn
1. Basic
and advanced concepts of Computational Biology
2. Practical
application of the concepts
3. To
analyse and interpret your data without any assistance in the near future.
4. Confident
in handling data and working on it.
