Bioinformatics Program

This four-day Bioinformatics program offered an engaging introduction to molecular biology. We began by exploring DNA and RNA, learning about sequencing and the significance of nucleic acids. Day two featured creative projects such as making DNA bracelets with colored beads and exploring basic Linux installation, where participants received guided support. The third day focused on utilizing bioinformatics software and databases like NCBI and BLAST for sequence analysis, while the final day involved hands-on project work, designing primers to identify various organisms. A unique and interactive educational experience!

Presentation Transcript

  1. Bioinformatics Program By: Aarjoo Bk

  2. Day 1 • We had a brief introduction to Bioinformatics • Learned about DNA • DNA sequencing • ATGC or in RNA, the T becomes a ‘U’ • Only some of the videos such as the diseases one was interesting to watch • Extracted Nucleic Acid from fruits • I really liked how we had a hands on activity rather than just a video or a lecture

  3. Day 2 • DNA bracelet • We made bracelets using colored beads which represented the different letters(ATGC) in a sequence • We also used the translation table to figure out what type of amino acid each sequence was • Bio-Linux • How to install Bio-Linux on a computer • I liked how we were taken step by step during this process • Basic Linux commands • We got to experiment with Pico and Perl

  4. Day 3 • Bioinformatics software/websites • NCBI • We used NCBI to search nucleotide sequences and analyze them • BLAST • Can be used to find similarities between sequences • EMBOSS • We used the different EMBOSS command line programs such as: seqret, entret, transeq, etc which was really helpful • I liked how we got more practice with Bio-Linux since it by using

  5. Day 4 • Project Work • We obtained the target sequences of the organisms using seqret • Primers • Designed primers by finding similar stretches of DNA (we used Jemboss applications to find it) • We identified various organisms through the primers constructed
