EMBL-EBI: Exploring Protein Sequence and Functional Information with UniProt
Beginners

Wed 28 Oct 2015

Description

This workshop will give an introduction to the resources provided by UniProt. Participants will be shown, and given hands-on experience in, how to navigate the website, search for data and run analysis tools. The session also covers what the sources of our data are and how they are curated. A basic introduction into accessing UniProt Knowledgebase programmatically will be given as well.

The timetable for this event can be found here.

Also note: This event is part of a series of short introductions focusing on EMBL-EBI resources. If you want to learn more about these separate training events, see the Related Courses section below.
