DESCRIPTION:This course will be streamed to registered participants only.\n
 \n# Overview\n[neXtProt](http://www.nextprot.org) is a platform developed 
 at SIB that helps researchers answer questions relevant to human proteins.
  It provides a comprehensive set of high quality\, fully traceable and sta
 ndardized annotations on human proteins at the genomic\, transcriptomic an
 d proteomic levels and the tools to explore these\, manually or programmat
 ically. As the reference database for the HUPO  Human Protein Project sinc
 e 2013\, neXtProt has a strong focus on mass spectrometry data and develop
 ed specific companion tools for the proteomics community.\n\nIn this 4-h c
 ourse\, participants will learn to find and interpret human protein data\,
  save lists of proteins\, plan proteomics experiments and predict the impa
 ct of variants using the tools provided in the neXtProt platform.\n\n\n\n#
  Schedule - CET time zone\n\n* 14:00-16:00: **Lecture** Exploring the univ
 erse of human proteins using neXtProt (including 2 Q&amp\;A sessions)\n* 1
 6:00-18:00: **Hands-on exercises**\n\n# Audience\nThis course is targeted 
 to any life scientist or bioinformatician who needs to retrieve comprehens
 ive data on human proteins (variants\, PTMs\, protein-protein interactions
 \, subcellular location\, function etc). \n# Learning objectives\nAt the e
 nd of the course\, the participants should be able to:\n* Use the simple s
 earch to find a gene\, publication\, pathway\, etc.\n* Interpret neXtProt 
 annotations and trace back their evidence to the original data source\n* H
 ighlight a specific sequence feature in an entry using the feature viewer\
 n* Create protein lists and compare them\n* Use neXtProt associated tools 
 to design or interpret a proteomics experiment\n* Use the VEP community to
 ol to predict the impact of a variant\n* Execute a SPARQL query example an
 swering a complex biological question\n\n\n# Prerequisites\n##### Knowledg
 e / competencies\nBasic knowledge of biology and proteins is required. Thi
 s course is designed for beginners and does not require any previous knowl
 edge of the neXtProt platform.\n\nParticipants of the hands-on session sho
 uld prepare a few biological questions beforehand to get the most of the c
 ourse.  \nThe neXtProt advanced search functionalities are based on SPARQL
 \, a semantic query language for databases that is recognized as one of th
 e key technologies of the semantic web and facilitates interoperability wi
 th other resources. Those  wishing to try out the advanced search are enco
 uraged to look at this [guide](https://doi.org/10.7490/f1000research.11168
 29.1) prior to the course.\n\n\n##### Technical\nThis course will be **str
 eamed**\, you are thus required to have your own computer with an internet
  connection.\n\n# Application\n \n\nDeadline for registration and cancella
 tion is set to *07/02/2023*.\n\nYou will be informed by email of your regi
 stration confirmation.\n\n\n# Venue and Time\nThis course will be streamed
  using Zoom. The course will start at 14:00 CET and end around 18:00 CET. 
 \n\nPrecise information will be provided to the participants on due time.\
