Program Structure

Introduction to Bioinformatics
- Overview of bioinformatics and its applications in genomics.
- Introduction to key concepts: DNA, RNA, proteins, sequences, and databases.
Getting Started with Free Tools
- Overview of free bioinformatics tools and resources.
- Introduction to platforms such as:
  - NCBI for accessing genomic data.
  - UCSC Genome Browser for visualizing genomic data.
  - Galaxy for data analysis workflows.
Hands-On Session 1: Accessing and Retrieving Genomic Data
- Activity: Participants will use the NCBI database to search for a specific gene and download its genomic sequence in FASTA format.
- Tools: NCBI Gene database and FASTA file handling.
Hands-On Session 2: Sequence Analysis Using Bioinformatics Tools
- Activity: Participants will analyze the downloaded sequence using tools like:
