Microbial Genome Analysis
Description:
This course describes how to access the microbial genome sequences and annotations, explains how to navigate and download the gene and protein datasets, and introduces the available genomic and comparative genomic analysis tools from NCBI, IMG and EcoCyc. The course will address practical discovery questions such as 'Are there identifiable genes in microbial genomes that may be horizontally transferred?' and 'What are the differences between closely-related pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria?'
