Advanced course: GENE PREDICTION AND ANNOTATION OF GENOMES

This fact makes essential a proper identification and annotation of the gene structures for further analysis. Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes have genes hidden across their genomes in a different way but the procedure to identify them is quite similar although the effectiveness differs quite a lot.

In this practical course the students will learn the particularities of the gene identification in bacteria as well as in higher organisms. For a better understanding on the gene function the course will include methodologies for a good annotation on the identified genes, description of the annotation terms and databases for retrieving high quality annotations about functions, metabolic pathways and protein domains.
