Bacterial Genomes
Accessing and Analysing Microbial Genome Data
Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Most FutureLearn courses run multiple times. Every run of a course has a set start date but you can join it and work through it after it starts. Find out more This course would benefit those interested in learning how to use tools to investigate bacterial genomes, and acquire bioinformatics skills to evaluate the role of microbial genes in disease. Using analytical tools to access and probe genomes, learners will find out how to perform comparative analyses of genes and their protein products. The course will be of interest to undergraduates, post-graduates, researchers, bioinformaticians, microbiologists, and healthcare professionals. The opportunity to use online computational tools to probe bacterial genomes will also be of interest to teachers and their 16-18-year-old science and computing students. Bacterial Genomes: From DNA to Protein Function using Bioinformatics is a recommended pre-requisite. Scientific terminology is explained.

aprendí como utilizar artemis
Fue un curso muy enriquecedor, aprendí como utilizar artemis, un navegador de genoma muy didáctico y afiance muchos conocimientos de bioinformatica I started off as a novice but now believe I can mentor someone to some extent.
codon feature amongst others
Now I can predict with confidence a pathogenicity island in a genome through its GC% content and start & stop codon feature amongst others.
