Week 2 — Extended Module

A hands-on, step-by-step journey from the fundamentals to applied analysis. Trainees learn how to retrieve and clean real sequence data, run core DNA/protein analyses, build high-quality alignments, and generate publication-ready outputs. Each week delivers ~15 training hours (internationally accredited, AInTP) with practical exercises and instructor feedback.

 

Week 2 — Extended Module

What you gain (brief): Protein characterization and function inference using similarity search and advanced BLAST variants.

  • Day 1: Protein property analysis (ProtParam), domains, post-translational modifications (PTMs).

  • Day 2: Similarity search using BLAST; homology concepts; interpreting results.

  • Day 3: Advanced BLAST (PSI-BLAST, key parameters); case study: predicting the function of an unknown protein.

  • Molecular biology/proteomics researchers.

  • R&D teams and drug-discovery interns.

  • Anyone annotating or characterizing novel proteins.
