About This Course
Introductory Bioinformatician Course Allows You To Level-up Your Bioinformatics Skills
One of the biggest applications of Bioinformatics is the prediction of 3D structures of biological molecules from their (1D) linear sequences. It is important to analyze the protein structures, because of the fact that the structural features of proteins can shed light on their biological functions.
Various bioinformatics tools/webservers are available to predict 3D structures of proteins whose structure has not yet been determined experimentally, with high degrees of precision. But predicting a good 3D protein structure is not a simple task.
The Introductory Bioinformatics Course allows you to deal with such tools/webservers to predict 3D structures of proteins, to visualize those structures as well as to evaluate the structures by utilizing the most efficient and well-annotated tools/software programs.
In this course you’ll learn the fundamentals of Bioinformatics. Along with the most commonly utilized biological databases, how to find conserved patterns and variable regions within sequence alignments & analysis and perform phylogenetic analysis to find out the evolutionarily related species/sequences, you’ll also be able to predict, visualize and evaluate 3D structures of proteins.
Joining and learning from the Introductory Bioinformatics Courses can enhance your biological career by learning through various useful & informative pre-recorded lectures on Bioinformatics tools, databases and servers.
Learning Objectives
Target Audience
- The target audience for the Introductory Bioinformatics Course are biologists, beginner or intermediate Bioinformaticians or data analysts with no or little experience in applications of computational bioinformatics and analysis.
- However, a superficial understanding of molecular biology is expected from you before you join the course.
- Bioinformatics is quite easy to get started in, even if you lack a proper understanding of the underlying concepts of Bioinformatics databases, servers, tools and the algorithms working behind them.
