This course will be held at the School of Biological Sciences, University of
Manchester, Stopford Building
The three day course will explore the range and management of databases
and software available for sequence analysis. The course is aimed at
individuals, institutions and companies involved in activities with both
'native' and 'engineered' proteins. The course will cover state-of-the-art
techniques and software packages providing a valuable introduction to those
who are new to the field of biocomputing. In addition it will assist
more experience users to get the best from their software.
The techniques and topics to be covered in the course include
sequence homology analysis
rational vaccine design
hydropathy plots
use of rational databases
advantages and limitations of available software packages
secondary structure and epitope prediction
workshop sessions which will include familiarisation with
the SERC Daresbury facility SEQNET
The course fee is 390 pounds.

The course details above are copied from the SEQNET machine at Daresbury
(DL.DLVH). There is a wide range of molecular biology databases,
software and documentation there as a national academic resource, and I
recommend using it while it is still available ( try UIG@DARESBURY for
info).
