Important update on event submissions and edits01-May-2024
We are currently transitioning to a new Å·ÃÀAV events submission system and website. • New event submissions may take up to one week to be published while we complete the transition. • Editing existing events is temporarily unavailable. New edit links will be issued next week. Your patience is appreciated while we finalise these improvements to the Å·ÃÀAV events website. If you have any questions, please contact the Events Database Team eventsdatabase@rsc.org

Introduction
This workshop will introduce basic bioinformatics approaches that are used to find, analyse and understand nucleotide or protein sequences. It will explore how to conduct searches across biological databases using both metadata and sequence data approaches. The course will explain how sequence searching techniques work, and how to use them effectively to find relevant results. Practical exercises will develop skills in searching for, accessing and aligning sequences; through the use of sample datasets participants will learn how to discover more about the biological context of nucleotide and protein sequences.
The key areas covered by the workshop will include:
Sequence data resources at EMBL-EBI
Tools for sequence searching and alignments
Using sequences to investigate families, function and structure
