Workshops

From Sequence to Structure

Date: Tuesday 29 November 2005 OR Tuesday 1 December 2005
Time: 1:30 - 3:30 pm

In this workshop, we will become acquainted with the major websites, tools and file formats used in sequence analysis. Beginning with a DNA sequence, we trace the process of discovering its amino acid translation, its near relatives, its putative function and the likely structure of the associated protein. The workshop includes visiting NCBI, Expasy and PDB websites, and using blast, PredictProtein, and DeepView (spdbv). No knowledge of biology is assumed, and only a general knowledge of computing (such as file saving and web browsing) is required. All tools used are available on-line or for free download.

Instructors: Cath Lawrence, Anna Robinson

Analysis of Microarray Data workshop

Date: Wednesday 30 November 2005 OR Friday 2 December 2005
Time: 1:30 - 3:30 pm

This workshop will take participants through the various steps of an analysis of two channel (spotted) microarray data. The limma package, for the R system, will be used for the analysis. Plots that may give insight into the data and into the results will be demonstrated.

Instructor: John Maindonald
