- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Chemoinformatics and Bioinformatics (programme PřF, B-BCH)
- Course objectives
- At the end of the course students should be able to: search for information and work with biological databases; perform independent bioinformatic analyses of data; prepare experimental project focused on protein cloning
- Syllabus
- Information search. General search, biological databases, resources for molecular biology information
- Sequence alignment. Parameters (gaps, matrix). Nucleotide vs. amino acid alignments. Repetitions. Alignment as a tool for sequencing data analyses.
- Gene prediction, prediction of proteins and their functions.
- Primer design. Their importance, basic characteristics, secondary structure prediction, false priming, design of specific primers.
- Cloning and restriction endonucleases digestion.
- Protein properties prediction. Possibilities, comparison of demands and reliability of calculation and experiment.
- Individual project: identification of putative genes in the genome of an unknown organism, which are important for pro virulence. Function prediction of encoded proteins.
- Practical exercise 1. Polymerase chain reaction and agarose electrophoresis
- Practical exercise 2. PCR product isolation, digestion using restriction endonucleases.
