Bioinformatics lecture 9 working with eukaryotic DNA (practical bioinformatics)
Description:
Dive into a comprehensive 10-hour course on bioinformatics, covering both theoretical concepts and practical applications. Learn about fundamental topics such as sequence alignment, FASTA and BLAST algorithms, global and local alignments, and secondary structure prediction. Explore various bioinformatics tools and databases, including NCBI BLAST, ClustalW, and Protein Data Bank. Gain hands-on experience with practical sessions on database searching, multiple sequence alignment, phylogenetic tree construction, and protein structure analysis. Master essential skills like primer design, restriction mapping, and identifying conserved domains in protein sequences. By the end of this course, develop a strong foundation in bioinformatics techniques and their applications in biological research.
