Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to: search for information and work with biological databases; perform independent bioinformatical analyses of data; prepare experimental project focused to 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 proteinsand 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. Polymeráse chain reaction and agarose elektrophoresis
  • Practical exercise 2. PCR product isolation, digestion using restriction endonucleases.
