Practical 2 Exploring bioinformatics tools
P2: Introduction to Bioinformatics Tools • Know where to search for databases or tools relevant to your research • Explore available bioinformatics tools/software • How to apply bioinformatics tools to address biological problems
A catalog of available bioinformatics tools • Bioinformatics Links Directory at the University of British Columbia: • http://www.bioinformatics.ca/links_directory/ • Comprehensive list of software, but NOT complete • Apply tools to analyze biological data, eg, p53 mRNA sequence Each category will contain a list of related soft tools & databases
Capture your answers Eg: Modify your softcopy of the practical exercise, or • Start a new Word document document… Whatever works for you!! But we encourage you to capture it ELECTRONICALLY.
Work with your group members • If you’re confused, can your group members help you? • Can you figure out why we are asking you to do certain things? • Review the learning goals for this practical – which of your answers address which goals?
