- Syllabus: Find the course syllabus for your desired semester here.
Description
Methods to allow experimental scientists lacking computer programming skills to efficiently use the genomic and post-genomic data that is freely available over the web. Examples will be mainly taken from the field of microbial metabolism and regulation.
Course Goals
- The students will be able to perform database searches to identify genes that are physically linked or that follow specific phylogenetic distribution patterns.
- The students will be able to extract information related to genome-wide experimental data (gene or protein expression, phenotype, interaction data) gene or protein expression from databases and use this as building blocks or input for research projects
- The students will be able to use databases to search and identify structural homolog or catalytic domains in proteins to elaborate upon the function of unknown proteins
- The students will be able to use databases that integrate different types of data and use advanced visualization tools.
- The students will apply these methods to current issues in microbial physiology and metabolism.
