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 twice a year.\n\n### What topics will you cover?\n\n\n* Bioinformati
 cs tools\, DNA and protein sequences\n* Retrieving DNA and protein sequenc
 es from repositories\n* Databases for protein annotation\n* Inferring func
 tion from sequence\n\n### What will you achieve?\n\nBy the end of the cour
 se\, you'll be able to...\n\n* assess DNA representations and protein sequ
 ences\n* perform searches in primary databases (repositories) and retrieve
  gene/protein data\n* interpret different repository submission formats\n*
  investigate biological databases for research\n* identify the putative fu
 nction of proteins based on their conserved domains\n\n# Educators\n\n## *
 *Lead Educators**\n\n### Dr Anna Protasio\n\nI am a researcher in parasito
 logy and life sciences. I am passionate about bioinformatics and how we ca
 n use these tools to answer questions in biology.\n\n### Martin Aslett\n\n
 I am the IT Manager for the Wellcome Genome Campus Advanced Courses and Sc
 ientific Conferences team. My interests lie in bioinformatics and its appl
 ication to microbial genomics.\n\n### Dr Christine Boinett\n\nI am a resea
 rcher in bacterial genetics and my interest is in understanding the develo
 pment of resistance in bacterial pathogens using next generation sequencin
 g techniques.\n\n## **Educator**\n\n### Matthew Dorman\n\nI am a graduate 
 student at the Wellcome Sanger Institute\, where I research the virulence 
 and the molecular genetics of bacterial pathogens as part of the Infection
  Genomics programme.\n\n## **Programme Lead Educator**\n\n### Professor Ni
 cholas Thomson\n\nGroup Leader at the Wellcome Sanger Institute\, interest
 ed in bacterial evolution and the spread of infectious disease\; provides 
 scientific oversight for this course.\n\nThe course also features intervie
 ws with two distinguished experts:\n\n### Dr Rob Finn\n\nTeam Leader of EM
 BL-EBI Sequence Families Team\n\n### Dr Claire Chewapreecha\n\nSir Henry W
 ellcome Fellow and Lecturer\, University of Cambridge\, UK\, and King Mong
 kut University of Technology\, Thailand.\n\n# What's Included\n\nWellcome 
 Genome Campus Advanced Courses and Scientific Conferences are offering eve
 ryone who joins this course a free digital upgrade\, so that you can exper
 ience the full benefits of studying online for free. This means that you g
 et:\n\n* Unlimited access to this course\n* Includes any articles\, videos
 \, peer reviews and quizzes\n* Tests to validate your learning\n* A PDF Ce
 rtificate of Achievement to prove your success when you’re eligible\n\n#
