BioInf Common Test - TIPs

1. Be able to explain what is bioinformatics. ( the use of IT in life sciences, etc...)
3. Know what is a database and what are tools.
3. Bibliography - Journals (e.g. PUBMED)
4. Nucleotide - DNA Sequence
5. Protein - Protein Sequence

Week 2
-Know the definition of primary databases. (archives; contains biomolecular sequences and annotation that tells us what the biomolecule is)
-Be able to give examples of primary databases. (DNA Database - EMBL, GenBank, DDBJ)
-Know how to search for primary database. (e.g. using BLAST - Basic Local Alignment Search Tool)

Week 3 & 4
-Seconday Databases
-Definition - derived from primary databases
-Give examples - PROSITE, PRINTS, pfam
-How to search in secondary databases
-Nature of data and how they are derived (Being able to produce diagrams to illustrate how each database works is an advantage)
