Students will be able to analyse the variants of Protein and DNA with help of Bioinformatics tools and Explore the databases .
Bioinformatics is the application of computational technology to handle the rapidly growing repository of information related to molecular biology. Bioinformatics combines different fields of study, including computer sciences, molecular biology, biotechnology, statistics and engineering.
The NCBI houses a series of databases relevant to biotechnology and biomedicine and is an important resource for bioinformatics tools and services. Major databases include GenBank for DNA sequences and PubMed, a bibliographic database for biomedical literature. Other databases include the NCBI Epigenomics database.
The Protein Data Bank is a database for the three-dimensional structural data of large biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids
UniProt is a freely accessible database of protein sequence and functional information, many entries being derived from genome sequencing projects. It contains a large amount of information about the biological function of proteins derived from the research literature
The course Practical Bioinformatics: Play with Genes On Your Screens. is intended to teach students about the use and exploration of biological data present on online websites and tools. Bioinformatics is a cast subject include every technique involve in solving a biological problem or predicting the theoretical results. Bioinformatics is a time saving and smart approach in modern day biology & life sciences. Our aim is to make you self sufficient in using all the necessary tools and techniques regarding genetic analysis.
