Course Objective:

The participating students will learn about various bioinformatics databases, algorithms and tools. The students will be able to analyse sequence, structures and interactions of biological macromolecules – thus enabling them to gain comprehensive functional insights of a biological system.

Modules:

• Accessing sequence and structure databases and information retrieval
• Sequence Analysis
• Pairwise and multiple sequence alignment algorithms and applications
• Phylogenetic Cluster Analysis
• Identification of disease associated polymorphism/ mutation in human genome using different bioinformatics softwares
• Identification of existing RFLP or generating new RFLP at the locus of interest.
• Design of PCR based RFLP method suitable for studying the locus of interest in a given population.
• Standard method of data analysis to determine the association of the polymorphism/mutation with disease phenotype
• Analysis of RNA/DNA sequencing data
• In silico analysis of CpG islands
• Prediction of protein structure
• Visualisation of three dimensional structures of macromolecules
• In silico Protein- Protein/Ligand Interaction studies
• Basics of molecular docking and simulation studies
• Image analysis of biological data

To apply please contact the course coordinator through email within 10 ^th August, 2024. Selected candidates will be informed in due course. Payment procedure will be informed after selection.
