A guide to sequence similarity search for biomolecular sequences

Not yet rated

This webinar aims to provide an introduction tobasic concepts in sequence similarity search with a focus on the similarity search tools and databases provided byEMBL-EBI. In this webinar, we will also provide useful tips on which tools and databases to use, and explore some examples of use cases using BLAST.

Who is this course for?

Anyone interested in detecting homologous sequences. No previous bioinformatics experience is required, but an undergraduate-level knowledge of biology would be recommended.

Outcomes

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

  • Describe what sequence similarity searching is and why it is important
  • Identify sequence search tools and biological databases at EMBL-EBI
  • Perform BLAST sequence searches against different EMBL-EBI databases
  • Explore different input formats, different parameters options, and how to interpret the results
