Description
Organized by Computational Biology Group, Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology Bio Innovation Center

This workshop has been designed for students, researchers in early stage of their career as well as senior researchers/faculties with little or no programming experience.

This course is a consolidation of courses covering three major programmatic technologies used in bioinformatics. It teaches entry level bioinformaticians, and biologists how to leverage the Linux shell, Perl, Python, MySQL and various other open-source bioinformatics tools to perform computations in biological research and create information from data. Examples in this course use data from DNA and amino acid sequences, microarray profiles, and biological annotations.

The current workshop span theoretical understanding of the evolution of signaling networks from individual molecular reactions and the integration of individual molecular reactions to build complex signaling networks. Further, this workshop also offer the introduction to tools and methods involved in the identification of protein-protein interactions, enzyme-substrate reactions, post-translational modifications, protein localization and expression of genes at the level of mRNAs, microRNAs and proteins. The practical sessions will introduce the development and visualization tools and hands-on training in the development of signaling pathways. Importantly, the practical sessions would also introduce the analysis of high-throughput data using open-access pathway analysis tools.
