Who is this course for?
Day 1: RNA Structure Prediction: The course covers methods to predict and analyze RNA secondary structure using tools like Mfold, including interpreting results and identifying conserved patterns.
Day 2: Evolutionary Analysis: It introduces the principles and methods of phylogenetic tree building (e.g., maximum likelihood) to study RNA evolution, including data preparation and evaluating tree reliability with bootstrapping.
Day 3: Genomic Data Exploration: The focus shifts to applying these skills in a genomic context, using major databases like Ensembl to browse genomes and perform comparative genomics to find orthologous genes across species.
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.
