Bioinformatics: EMBL-EBI - Protein Databases and Tools

BeginnersPrerequisites

In this session we will introduce the major protein databases available from the EBI. The use of the UniProtKB database will be especially considered. Further information for this session is available here.

This session is one of a series of short introductions to EBI Services, run together, but bookable separately (see Related Courses section below).

Please note that if you are not eligible for a University of Cambridge Raven account you will need to book by linking here.

• Our courses are open to all who might benefit
• Booking priority is given to people from Cambridge University and Collaborating Institutes
• Individual Course fees are required only from External participants not from Collaborating Institutes

• Basic computing skills
• Graduate level in Life Sciences

Number of sessions: 1

• Appreciate the differences between the major protein sequence databases
• Browse the UniProt database in detail, learning about its structure and the type of data it contains
