Introduction
I made a Bioinformatics tutorial for students at MRC LMB, together with Dr. Roger Williams and Dr. Sean Munro.The tutorial is decomposed in three parts - Sequence, Structure, and Function:
- In the Sequence part, you will see how to look efficiently for a particular protein sequence, how to blast it against the database of your choice to find homologues, how to perform a multiple alignment of the homologues you've selected and how to edit this alignment.
- The Structure part is about molecular visualization, homology modeling and structural domain prediction.
- In the Function part, you will be introduced to you 3 useful servers to investigate the function of a protein. i.e. finding interactors, co-expressed genes, see a phylogenetic profile, easily access papers citing your gene etc ...
