DESCRIPTION:# Overview\n\n\n* **Duration**: 2 weeks\, 5 hours per week\n* F
 ree\n* Certificate of Achievement available on satisfactory completion\n* 
 **CPD Approval**: Royal College of Pathologists (10 credits)\n* **Start Da
 te**: The course is run ‘live’ for 2 weeks from the start date above. 
 Once this period is over there will be no live monitoring of the forums\, 
 but you can still join and complete the course during the remaining period
 .\n\n### Why join the course?\n\nJoin us in our quest to discover what mak
 es microbes dangerous. Use bioinformatics to probe genomes\, to explore an
 d represent DNA and protein sequences. Then\, use databases to find protei
 n sequences’ conserved domains and investigate their functions.\n\n### W
 ho is the course for?\n\nThe course will be of interest to undergraduates\
 , post-graduates\, researchers\, bioinformaticians\, biomedical researcher
 s\, microbiologists\, healthcare professionals and all those who are inter
 ested in learning about the underlying mechanisms of bacterial disease\, D
 NA sequences and protein data\, or how to use online analytical tools to p
 robe genomes.\n\nThe topics covered in this course are applicable to the g
 enomes of all organisms. It is not essential to have previous knowledge or
  experience in bioinformatics. Scientific terminology is explained. The op
 portunity to use online computational tools in the context of bacterial ge
 nomes will also be of interest to teachers and their 16-18-year-old scienc
 e and computing students.\n\n### What do people say about this course?\n\n
 "_Clear introduction of the – often viewed as complex – field of bioin
 formatics_." Mqondisi Tshabalala\, PhD student\, Institute for Cellular an
 d Molecular Medicine\, University of Pretoria\, South Africa "_Highlights 
 of the course were the investigations with the databases - these reinforce
 d the learning._" Dr. Alan McLintic\, Anaesthesiologist\, Faculty of Medic
 ine and Health Scientists\, University of Auckland\, New Zealand\n\n# Prog
 ramme and start dates\n\n### Course start dates\n\nThis course will be rep
 eated:\n\nNext start dates:\n\n* May/June 2019 (date TBC)\n\n### What topi
 cs will you cover?\n\n\n* Bioinformatics tools\, DNA and protein sequences
 \n* Retrieving DNA and protein sequences from repositories\n* Databases fo
 r protein annotation\n* Inferring function from sequence\n\n### What will 
 you achieve?\n\nBy the end of the course\, you'll be able to...\n\n* asses
 s DNA representations and protein sequences\n* perform searches in primary
  databases (repositories) and retrieve gene/protein data\n* interpret diff
 erent repository submission formats\n* investigate biological databases fo
 r research\n* identify the putative function of proteins based on their co
 nserved domains\n\n# Educators\n\n## **Lead Educators**\n\n### Dr Anna Pro
 tasio\n\nI am a researcher in parasitology and life sciences. I am passion
 ate about bioinformatics and how we can use these tools to answer question
 s in biology.\n\n### Martin Aslett\n\nI am the IT Manager for the Wellcome
  Genome Campus Advanced Courses and Scientific Conferences team. My intere
 sts lie in bioinformatics and its application to microbial genomics.\n\n##
 # Dr Christine Boinett\n\nI am a researcher in bacterial genetics and my i
 nterest is in understanding the development of resistance in bacterial pat
 hogens using next generation sequencing techniques.\n\n## **Educator**\n\n
 ### Matthew Dorman\n\nI am a graduate student at the Wellcome Sanger Insti
 tute\, where I research the virulence and the molecular genetics of bacter
 ial pathogens as part of the Infection Genomics programme.\n\n## **Program
 me Lead Educator**\n\n### Professor Nicholas Thomson\n\nGroup Leader at th
 e Wellcome Sanger Institute\, interested in bacterial evolution and the sp
 read of infectious disease\; provides scientific oversight for this course
 .\n\nThe course also features interviews with two distinguished experts:\n
 \n### Dr Rob Finn\n\nTeam Leader of EMBL-EBI Sequence Families Team\n\n###
  Dr Claire Chewapreecha\n\nSir Henry Wellcome Fellow and Lecturer\, Univer
 sity of Cambridge\, UK\, and King Mongkut University of Technology\, Thail
 and.\n\n# What's Included\n\nWellcome Genome Campus Advanced Courses and S
 cientific Conferences are offering everyone who joins this course a free d
 igital upgrade\, so that you can experience the full benefits of studying 
 online for free. This means that you get:\n\n* Unlimited access to this co
 urse\n* Includes any articles\, videos\, peer reviews and quizzes\n* Tests
  to validate your learning\n* A PDF Certificate of Achievement to prove yo
 ur success when you’re eligible\n\n# CPD Approval\n\n\n\n
