BLAST and multiple sequence alignment (MSA) programs http://tess.elixir-uk.org/materials/blast-and-multiple-sequence-alignment-msa-programs-0b2b34d0-a157-49d4-a065-3dcad67ff99d Background The rapid identification of pathogens infecting livestock is essential to appropriately respond to the threat. The number and the variety of pathogen sequenced genomes have been growing more dramatically these recent years, because of the new sequencing technologies. This wealth of new data is very useful to the research field through the development of bioinformatics tools and databases that deal with large amount of sequences. Among them, BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) and MSA () programs are very efficient for protein or nucleotide sequence similarity search. The present course introduces the main biological databases, alignment tool BLAST and Multiple sequence alignments (MSA) programs, and interpretation of results. Goal The ultimate aim is the better management of animal diseases by preparing laboratory technicians, veterinarians and molecular epidemiologists from diagnostic and research laboratories of developing FAO and IAEA member states, to be self-sufficient in the data analysis by interpreting the phylogenetic trees and their relationships. Target audience Researchers, Laboratory technicians, veterinarians, epidemiologists from diagnostic and research laboratories of member states of IAEA and FAO. The concepts are explained in generalized way to help all academicians, researchers, students from all countries working in the field of molecular genetics and epidemiology.

Understanding Multiple Sequence Alignments - Lecture Handouts & Utopia Hands-On http://tess.elixir-uk.org/materials/understanding-multiple-sequence-alignments-lecture-handouts-utopia-hands-on This presentation aims to provide a basic understanding of the range of contexts in which protein sequence alignments are used and are useful, focusing on the importance of sequence similarities and differences, and what they tell us. Overall, the objective is to offer different perspectives and insights into the meaning of alignments, and to convey an understanding of the use of metaphor and its role in interpreting alignments. The talk is accompanied by a hands-on practical analysis using the Utopia sequence analysis suite.

Similarity searching, multiple sequence alignment and protein families - undergraduate lab

Lab 3 in a series of labs given as part of a "bioinformatics for biologists" course targeted at 2nd/3rd year undergraduates and focusing on informed use of tools. Some instructions are specific to our local computer lab setup but overall the content should be adaptable. Note that because some of...

Similarity searching, multiple sequence alignment and protein families - undergraduate lab http://tess.elixir-uk.org/materials/similarity-searching-multiple-sequence-alignment-and-protein-families-undergraduate-lab Lab 3 in a series of labs given as part of a "bioinformatics for biologists" course targeted at 2nd/3rd year undergraduates and focusing on informed use of tools. Some instructions are specific to our local computer lab setup but overall the content should be adaptable. Note that because some of the exercises make use of public databases they need to be checked and in some cases updated every time the lab is run. The lab is meant to be easily assessed using an online quiz (I use moodle). I provides a hands on introduction to NCBI BLAST, Interproscan, Clustal, MUSCLE and T-COFFEE, and HMMER.  Blast, Hmmer, Interpro, Multiple sequence alignment, Similarity searching biology and bioinformatics sophomore undergraduates 2013-11-12 2017-10-09

Multiple sequence alignment and phylogeny - undergraduate lab http://tess.elixir-uk.org/materials/multiple-sequence-alignment-and-phylogeny-undergraduate-lab This is lab 4 in a series of labs given as part of an undergraduate "Bioinformatics for biologists" course delivered to 2nd and 3rd year biology and bioinformatics undergraduate students, as part of a course focusing on using bioinformatics tools. Some instructions in it are specific to our lab environment - including some not so current programs (clustalw, treetool, seaview, phylip) as that's what we have installed at the moment and they're stable, but the content can easily be adapted to other environments and programs. The lab is meant to be easily assessed and I get the students to answer the question in a moodle quiz which makes marking easier. The lab follows some lectures on multiple sequence alignment and molecular phylogeny.
