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

After this course you should be able to:
- Evaluate the differences between the different resources provided by UniProt
- Browse the UniProt database in detail, learning about its structure and the type of data it contains
- Select the most appropriate way to access sequence data for a specific purpose (sequence search, text search...)
- Inter-convert database identifiers to and from UniProt identifiers
During this course you will learn about:
- All the UniProt resources, in particular UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB)
- How to search UniProtKB
- How to use the analysis tools available in UniProtKB
- Ways of programmatic access to UniProtKB
