Applied Bioinformatics Course

Exercises

As a hands-on practical course, we will introduce many exercises to be practiced during the course. This page collects a variety of exercises such as literature search, database query, and database search, sequence alignment, motif search, phylogenetic analysis and molecular modeling.

Entrez - Literature search with PubMed and database query with the NCBI Entrez system.

ExPASy - Find protein sequences from the Swiss-Prot database with the ExPASy system.

SRS - Database query with the EBI Sequence Retrieval System (SRS).

Dotplot - DNA and protein sequence comparison using the dot plot approach.

Align - Pairwise and multiple sequence alignment using both local and global algorithms.

BLAST -Sequence similarity search against DNA and protein sequence databases.

DNA sequence analysis - Analysis of DNA sequences with several bioinformatics tools.

Protein sequence analysis - Analysis of protein sequences with several bioinformatics tools.

Motif - Identification of conserved sequence motifs and domains.

Phylogeny -Phylogenetic analysis and construction of phylogenetic tress with simple examples.

Modeling - Analysis of three-dimensional structure of proteins and prediction of protein structures.
