Course Outline
Course Outline
In the session we will introduce four protein databases from the EBI:
| Database | Content |
|---|---|
| UniProt | Protein names and functional information from academic literature and bioinformatics software. |
| InterPro | Tools to predict domains and sites that aid in the classification of proteins and prediction of function. |
| IntAct | Detailed experimental molecular interaction information. |
| Reactome | Illustrations and annotations of biological pathways and the reactions that comprises them. |
We will start the session by introducing ontologies, which are an important development in scientific annotation. Then for each database we will give a short presentation, followed by a brief demonstration of the database website then participants will be given short exercises to prompt them to practise using each database.
This session will usually be offered as one of a number of short introductions to EBI Services that can be booked separately.
