DESCRIPTION:**This course will be streamed only for registered participants
 . Registered participants will receive information from the course organiz
 er in due time.**\n\n# Overview\nUsing high-throughput technologies\, you 
 can identify long lists of candidate genes that differ between two experim
 ental conditions. In order to interpret these gene lists and to discover f
 undamental properties like gene function and disease relevance\, you need 
 to use the annotation linked to a given gene or protein sequence.\n\nThe g
 oals of this course are to give some basic theoretical and practical knowl
 edge on protein sequence databases with a focus on [UniProtKB](https://www
 .uniprot.org/)\, on the different manual and automated annotation pipeline
 s (such as [HAMAP](https://hamap.expasy.org/)) and\, in particular\, on th
 e optimum use of UniProtKB. UniProtKB and HAMAP are SIB resources\; they a
 re listed in [Expasy](https://www.expasy.org/)\, the Swiss Bioinformatics 
 Portal. During the lecture and exercise  sessions\, we will cover question
 s such as:\n* Where do the protein sequences come from?\n* What are the di
 fferences between the major protein sequence databases?\n* What are the ma
 nual and automated gene / protein annotation pipelines?\n* What are the Ge
 ne Ontology (GO) annotation pipelines?\n* How to assess protein sequence a
 ccuracy and annotation quality?\n* How to extract biological knowledge fro
 m a Blast result or gene list?\n\n# Audience\nThis course targets biologis
 ts and bioinformaticians who seek to analyze protein data. It will also be
  useful to programmers and data scientists\, be they from academia or indu
 stry\, who programmatically access protein sequence databases and need to 
 understand the data.\n\n# Learning outcomes\nAt the end of the course\, th
 e participants are expected to:\n* list the differences between the major 
 protein sequence databases\n* describe the major protein sequence and GO a
 nnotation pipelines\n* assess the accuracy of a protein sequence and the q
 uality of annotation\n* use the query interfaces on the UniProtKB website 
 to make meaningful and productive requests \n\n# Prerequisites\n##### Know
 ledge / competencies\nThis course is designed for beginners. There are no 
 requirements.\n##### Technical\nThis course will be streamed\, you are thu
 s required to have your own computer with an Internet connection.\n\n# App
 lication\nThe registration fees for academics are **60 CHF** and **300 CHF
 ** for for-profit companies. While participants are registered on a first 
 come\, first served basis\, exceptions may be made to ensure diversity and
  equity\, which may increase the time before your registration is confirme
 d. \n\nYou will be informed by email of your registration confirmation. Up
 on reception of the confirmation email\, participants will be asked to con
 firm attendance by paying the fees within 5 days.\n\nDeadline for free-of-
 charge cancellation is set to **07/10/2022**. Cancellation after this date
  will not be reimbursed. Please note that participation in SIB courses is 
 subject to our [general conditions](https://www.sib.swiss/training/terms-a
 nd-conditions).\n\n# Venue and Time\nThis course will be streamed using Zo
 om. \n\nThe course will start at 9:00 CET and end around 17:00 CET. Precis
 e information will be provided to the participants in due time.\n\n\n#  Ad
 ditional information\nCoordination: Monique Zahn\, SIB training group.\n\n
 We will recommend 0.25 ECTS credits for this course (given a passed exam a
 t the end of the course).\n\nYou are welcome to register to the SIB course
 s mailing list to be informed of all future courses and workshops\, as wel
 l as all important deadlines using the form [here](https://lists.sib.swiss
 /mailman/listinfo/courses).\n\nPlease note that participation in SIB cours
 es is subject to our [general conditions](https://www.sib.swiss/training/t
 erms-and-conditions).\n\nSIB abides by the [ELIXIR Code of Conduct](https:
 //elixir-europe.org/events/code-of-conduct). Participants of SIB courses a
 re also required to abide by the same code.\n\nFor more information\, plea
