Training

Training at the TCBG
The Resource recognizes the vital importance of training for the education and professional growth of scientists. With so many techniques and technologies, researchers must continue to learn new and better ways of completing research, and should always be on the lookout for new tools to use, and new ways to use existing tools. In the sections below, we strive to provide a collection of tutorials and training methods to help scientists better utilize their talents, so that they may continue to advance their research. This section offers demos and tutorials on tools created by Resource members, and on techniques to assist the use of those tools. The links on this page lead to local as well as third-party training resources.

 Spotlight
Bioinformatics and Sequence Alignment Tutorial. Bioinformatics uses the statistical analysis of protein sequences and structures to help annotate the genome, to understand their function, and to predict structures when only sequence information is available. Bioinformatics methods are used in fundamental research on theories of evolution and in more practical considerations of protein design. The tutorial begins with classical pairwise sequence alignment methods using the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm, and ends with the multiple sequence alignment available through CLUSTAL W.
