Week 3 — 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 3 — Extended Module

What you gain (brief): High-quality pairwise/multiple alignments and clear visualizations suitable for downstream structural/evolutionary analysis.

  • Day 1: Pairwise & multiple sequence alignment (dot plots, ClustalW, T-Coffee).

  • Day 2: Alignment editing & visualization (Jalview, BoxShade); sequence logos.

  • Day 3: Protein-structure resources (PDB, PSIPRED); secondary-structure prediction; building a high-quality family alignment.

Target audience

  • Comparative genomics/evolution enthusiasts.

  • Researchers needing reliable alignments for phylogeny, structure, or primer/probe design.

  • Students preparing figures for reports or posters.
