Course Overview

This module is aimed at giving life scientists training on how to explore and use protein interaction and pathway bioinformatics resources. This course looks at the data repositories, resources and tools available and shows attendees how to both find information on a single molecule and how to build high-quality networks to enable network analysis.

Audience

The module is suitable for PhD students and PostDocs looking to build networks prior to ‘Omics data analysis, or to better understand the biology of their favourite gene(s) or protein(s).
