"Our vision is to bridge the gap between molecular biology and computer science..."

 
- Module Two - Advanced Bioinformatics for Medical Research Workshop.


The advanced genetic analysis workshop is designed to be compatible with Linux/MacOS X or Windows/PC operating system.  We suggest running this module in a four to five day course (on the first day all software applications are loaded in the machines).
The workshop lectures includes a mixture of theoretical and pratical lectures on Sophisticated analyses with PAUP*, PAML, GENIE, EVE, ARLEQUIN using real data from the laboratory.


The pratical section of the workshop uses virus examples and real data from the laboratory. Up to date this course module are adapted to different human pathogens, such:  Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1), Human Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Human Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Micobacterium Tuberculosis (TB), Avian Influenza, etc.

Day One:

In the first day the computers are configured and the participants present their work and objectives within the course.

Day Two:

Introduction to Bioinformatics and Sequence Analysis tools.
Advanced Sequence Management.
Sequence alignment in ClustalX and BioEdit (Windows), and the Genetic Data Environment (Linux/Mac OSX)..

Day Three:

Phylogenetic Reconstruction with PAUP:* (Likelihood).
Molecular Clock Analysis with PAUP* (NJ) (3 theories)

Day Four:

Evolution Rate analysis with PAML and TipDate.
Break Point identification for Recombination.

Day Five:

Protein Domains Analysis
Protein Structure Analysis.
Proteomics Introduction.
