The BIF401 – Bioinformatics 1 book is a prerequisite for all students in the advanced course in Bioinformatics at the Virtual University. The book takes students past the basics of bioinformatics and into more complicated topics, hence preparing them for challenges that might arise while solving problems related to biological data.
BIF401 – Bioinformatics 1: Starting from the basics of previously learned bioinformatics courses, it will focus on computational analysis in genomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics data for understanding how biological integration could help to find molecular mechanisms behind diseases and those explaining evolutionary processes and biological functions. Much emphasis is given to the use of bioinformatics tools and databases for high-throughput analysis toward understanding biological data meaningfully.
Advanced sequence analysis methods are discussed in large part of the book BIF401. Students will get more in-depth information regarding multiple sequence alignment, phylogenetic tree construction, and motif searching. These techniques become very useful in the task of finding conserved regions in proteins and genes and establishing evolutionary relationships, allowing one to make predictions concerning the functions of unknown sequences.
Another major component of the BIF401 book is the analysis of protein structures. This chapter gives students the ability to understand how to make and interpret three-dimensional structures of proteins computationally. There are elaborated details in this book on some topics, which include homology modeling, molecular docking, and protein-ligand interaction studies useful in aspects related to drug discovery and understanding of protein functions. This will also provide a guideline on using structural bioinformatics tools like PyMOL and Chimera, enabling one to visualize and interpret the structure of proteins.
BIF401 will also deal with systems biology approaches in bioinformatics: how to analyze and model complex biological systems using computational methods. Students reach a stage of knowledge in biological networks, including protein-protein interaction networks and gene regulatory networks, and how these can be used for identification of key players in cellular processes and diseases.
