The logical next step after genome sequencing or proteomics analyses and a necessary prequel to biomarker and drug target discovery is to identify proteins of interest and their activities.

This three-day course will combine lectures with computer labs to provide an introduction to the bioinformatics resources and methodologies commonly used for protein analyses. Course participants are expected to know the basic biology of proteins, and will leave with the ability to perform detailed analyses of protein sequences and structures.

Topics 
Database Resources & Text Searching: where and how to look; Theory and Application of Sequence Searches: BLAST, Multiple Sequence Alignment, and Peptide/Pattern Match; Protein Classification: background and how to construct protein families; Structure-based Analyses: principles and tools, and how to do structure alignments and predict functional sites; Protein Function Prediction: tour of how to do it and how to avoid pitfalls; Biomedical Ontologies: introduction and uses; Functional Interpretation of High-throughput Data: function and Pathway, analysis for proteomic and genomic data.

Space will be limited to 24 participants

Refund Policy
1.  100% tuition refund is available for registrations cancelled 14 or more days prior to the start of the workshop. 
2.  50% tuition refund is available for registrations cancelled between 4 to 13 days prior to the start of the workshop. Instead of a partial refund, you may elect to take a full workshop credit, which can be applied to another BioTech program of similar length. 
3.  No refund is available for registrations cancelled 3 days or less prior to the start of the workshop.  A full workshop credit will be available to you, which can be applied to another BioTech program of similar length.
All cancellations must be received in writing via fax to the FAES office, Attn. Ms. Carline Coote; BioTech Registrar 301-402-0174 during normal business hours (8:30 – 4:30 EST).  Those received after hours are time marked for the following day.  In the case of situation numbers 2 or 3, you must indicate whether you are opting for the full credit alternative at the time of written cancellation.
