EMBL-EBI: Interactions & Pathways

Prerequisites

This workshop is aimed at giving life scientists training on how to explore and use protein interaction and pathway bioinformatics resources. This course looks at the data repositories, resources and tools available and shows attendees how to both find information on a single molecule and how to build high-quality networks to enable network analysis.

Also note: This event is part of a series of short introductions focusing on EMBL-EBI resources. If you want to learn more about these separate training events, see the Related Courses section below.

The training room is located on the first floor and there is currently no wheelchair or level access available to this level.

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

• The module is suitable for PhD students and PostDocs looking to build networks prior to ‘omics data analysis, or to better understand the biology of their favourite genes or proteins
• Graduate students, Postdocs and Staff members from the University of Cambridge, Affiliated Institutions and other external Institutions or individuals
• Please be aware that these courses are only free for registered University of Cambridge students. All other participants will be charged a registration fee in some form. Registration fees and further details regarding the charging policy are available here.
• Further details regarding eligibility criteria are available here

No previous bioinformatics experience is required, but an undergraduate level understanding of biology would be an advantage.

Number of sessions: 1

Bioinformatics, Database search, Data retrieval

After this course you should be able to:

• Describe the data found in the molecular interaction database, and list available databases
• Identify alternative data formats and the various tools designed to work with them
• Search and retrieve data from IntAct and use the PSICQUIC web service

During this course you will learn about:

• IntAct (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/intact/)
• PSICQUIC web service (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/psicquic/view/home.xhtml)
• Reactome (http://www.reactome.org/)
• Complex Portal (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/intact/complex/)

Presentations, demonstrations and practicals

• Free for registered University of Cambridge students
• £ 50/day for all University of Cambridge staff, including postdocs, temporary visitors (students and researchers) and participants from Affiliated Institutions. Please note that these charges are recovered by us at the Institutional level
• It remains the participant's responsibility to acquire prior approval from the relevant group leader, line manager or budget holder to attend the course. It is requested that people booking only do so with the agreement of the relevant party as costs will be charged back to your Lab Head or Group Supervisor.
• £ 50/day for all other academic participants from external Institutions and charitable organizations. These charges must be paid at registration
• £ 100/day for all Industry participants. These charges must be paid at registration
• Further details regarding the charging policy are available here

If you have your own data set you are welcome to bring it along and use it during the practical part of the workshop.
