The course organised by Prof. Anna Tramontano will consist of six days of lectures and practical work.
The course will begin by discussing how to analyse data from next generaton sequencing (ChipSeq experiments)
and microarray experiments. Next, it will illustrate how to analyse a gene and a protein sequence, with a special
session dedicated to membrane proteins, and, finally, how to model a three-dimensional structure of a protein by
homology. The lectures and practicals will not assume any prior knowledge of bioinformatics and only freely available
and accessible tools will be used. The final aim is to allow students to analyse their own data in their own lab after
attending the course.
The course represents a perfect opportunity for young students to introduce themselves in the world of bioinformatics
and its practical applications. They will also have the opportunity to interact and discuss scientific topics with the
instructors in a friendly environment.
Attendees are enocuraged to prepare a short presentation of their current work and to bring their own data to be used
in the practicals.
