This course, run jointly with EMBL-EBI, provides hands-on training in the basics of mass spectrometry and proteomics bioinformatics.
The course is aimed at research scientists with a minimum of a degree in a biological discipline, including laboratory and clinical staff, as well as specialists in related fields. The practical elements of the course will take raw data from a proteomics experiment and analyse it. Participants will be able to go from MS spectra, to identifying peptides and finally to lists of protein identifiers that can be analysed further using a wide range of resources. The final aim is to provide attendees with the practical bioinformatics knowledge they need to go back to the lab and process their own data (including large datasets) when collected.
The programme will include lecture and practical, computational sessions covering the following topics:
Mass Spectrometry Basics
MS Search Engines and post-processing software
Quantitative proteomics
Protein sequence databases and their use
Protein sequence data in UniProt
Post-translational modifications
Standardisation of proteomics data
MS proteomics repositories and the ProteomeXchange consortium
PRIDE and PRIDE related tools
Proteogenomics
Protein interaction data through IntAct and the IMEX consortium
Functional analysis of proteins using Cytoscape
Placing proteins in pathways using Reactome
