  • Training in Molecular Modeling and Molecular Dynamics @ NIH, USA, Nov 29-Dec 2, 2016



    Training in Molecular Modeling and Molecular Dynamics
    Nov 29-Dec 2, 2016

    Where?
    National Institutes of Health
    9000 Rockville Pike
    Building 60, Room 162
    Bethesda, MD 20892, USA

    Background:
    Predicting the effect of a mutation on the structure and function of a protein is not just for researchers with super-computer facilities. Thanks to public cloud computing options, anyone with basic molecular biology background can setup and run compute intensive computational modeling and dynamics experiments.

    Objectives:
    Participants will use popular open source tools and techniques necessary for conducting successful molecular modeling and dynamics experiments... in the cloud.

    Hands-on Skills/Tools Taught
    • Ab initio protein structure modeling: QUARK / Rosetta
    • Remote homology detection: HHpred
    • Fragment-based protein structure modeling: Phyre2
    • Homology-based protein structure modeling: I-TASSER, MODELLER
    • Protein structure quality analysis: PROCHECK, WHAT_IF, Verify3D, PDB-REDO
    • Protein structure refinement: ModRefiner, ModLoop, Ramachandran plot
    • Macromolecular visualization: VMD, USCF Chimera
    • Molecular dynamics: NAMD

    Highlights
    • Cloud-based, high performance computing platform
    • Cloud image freely provided to participants
    • Training provided by active NIH researchers
    • Cookbook style bound manual for all exercises
    • Direct, after training support through exclusive forum membership
    • Continuing Educational Credits

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
