                SKMB course on 

           Computer Concepts for the 
      Sequence Analysis of Makromolecules

       Biocenter Basel, April 3 - 6, 1989

The course requires an elementary knowledge 
of computers and will be most useful to those 
with access to a Digital VAX. The application of 
the UWGCG and PIR pachake as well as W.Pearson's
FASTA will be featured.

TOPICS: 

Sequence information in the sequence databases
Data retrieval from sequence databases
Sequence editing 
Dotplot techniques
Homology matrices
Sequence alignments
Searches of one sequence in the databases
Manual multisequence alignment
Searches of aligned sequences in the database
Sequence analysis (ORFS, enzyme restriction maps,etc)
Protein secondary structure prediction
Measures for protein sequence analysis 

Programs will be demonstrated on-line with computer
screen projector. (Limited) Facilities for practicing
during the course are available. 

How to apply:
Please send a short description of your research and 
computer experience including a list of what topics
you are interested in at most. You might bring your 
sequence(s) (no entire genome, please) on tape, disk
or eMail to analyze it yourselgf or with assistance.

Deadline for application: March 1 , 1989
