A guide to UniProt for students

Not yet rated

UniProtprovides the scientific community with a comprehensive, high-quality and freely accessible resource of protein sequence and functional information.

This webinar will guide you through ways in which students and researchers at all career stages may take a structured approach to access the data in the UniProtKB and Proteomes sections of the UniProt protein function database.

Thewebinar will discussthe types of data that can be accessed, and using sequence analysis tools, how this data can be analysed to answer biological questions. We will demonstrate how to find the function of a protein, how the protein components of a pathway may be identified, features of proteins of interest can be compared, similar sections of sequence can be sought in other species and how whole data sets containing all the proteins expressed in an organism can be obtained. By accessing sequence, structural and functional data through UniProt, we want researchers to be part of data’s biological journey and support further work and adventures along the way!

Outcomes

By the end of the webinar you will be able to:

  • Describe what UniProt can be used for
  • Search the UniProt website and analyse data
