The Bioinformatics Centre at Birla Institute of Scientific Research, Jaipur every year organizes Bioinformatics Workshops. This year the Centre is organizing a three-day training programme on "Bioinformatics: Biological sequence analysis and protein structure prediction" which is to be held from 27 - 29 December 2002. Besides BISR faculty, Eminent guest Sceientist are invited from renowned Bioinformatics Centres of India including JNU, NII New Delhi for delivering lectures on advance concepts. The objective of this workshop is to focus on the application of bioinformatics tools for analysis of biological sequences and predicting the structure of a protein from primary amino acid sequences. The focus of the workshop will be on the following topics: Accessing Various Databanks Using Entrez & SRS, Sequence Similarity Searching Using Blast and Fasta, Computational Genomics and Proteomics, Gene Identification techniques, Nucleotide and Protein Sequence Analysis, Protein Structure Prediction, Phylogenetic Analysis, Homology Modeling of Proteins, Structural Alignment of Proteins,Analysis and Visualization of Biomolecular Structure using RASMOL and SPDviewer etc.The last date of registration is 20 Dec 2002.
