    Bioinformatics for Beginners
    February 13 - 16, 2018

    Where?

    National Institutes of Health
    9000 Rockville Pike
    Bethesda, MD 20892, USA

    Objectives

    The participants will be provided with end-to-end hands-on training, along with introduction tobasic concepts, in using popular tools and techniques for sequence analysis, structure analysis,function prediction, biological database searching, “omics” data analysis, pathway analysis, datavisualization, data curation and integration, linux, R, perl and scripting basics.rticipants should be comfortable with basic computer skills.

    Background

    Bioinformatics (Computational Biology) is a must skill required in every modern biomedicalresearch lab. Installing and configuring a wide variety of computational biology tools is acumbersome task that requires software engineering skills. This hands-on training course willintroduce participants to a custom, all-in-one, fully loaded linux desktop (with windows likegraphical user interface) machine, that comes with hundreds of popular computational biology (bioinformatics) tools required for a successful modern biomedical research lab.

    Highlights
    • Participants will use a Graphic User Interface based Linux Desktop environment, specially configured for bioinformatics analysis in the Amazon Cloud
    • Cloud image with fully configured bioinformatics tools, freely provided to participants
    • Training provided by experienced active NIH researchers
    • Cookbook style bound manual for all exercises
    • Direct, after training support through exclusive forum membership
    • Continuing Educational Credits


    Hands-on Skills/Tools taught
    • Databases: NCBI-ENTREZ, UniProt, PDB, STRING, Others.
    • Sequence analysis and function predictions: EMBOSS suite & others
    • Local Alignment: EMBOSS-WATER
    • Global Alignment: EMBOSS-NEEDLE
    • Similarity search: NCBI BLAST, PSI-BLAST
    • Multiple sequence alignment: Clustal Omega, MUSCLE, MAFFT
    • Phylogenetics: MrBayes, MEGA, FigTree and Dendroscope
    • Motif finding, analysis: MEME suite
    • Structure prediction, visualization & analysis: PyMOL, Chimera, iTASSER
    • Transcriptome analysis: NCBI GEO, Tuxedo tools, R
    • Enrichment analysis: DAVID
    • Pathway analysis: Cytoscape
    • Programming: R, Perl, Python
    • Platforms: EMBOSS, UGENE, H2O, Galaxy

    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...
