New Tutorial Suite on SMART (Simple Modular Architecture Research Tool)
Comprehensive Tutorial on the SMART Bioinformatics Resource enables researchers to quickly and effectively use invaluable resource. Seattle, WA (PRWEB) January 17, 2008 -- OpenHelix today announced the availability of a tutorial suite on the SMART bioinformatics resource (http://smart.embl-heidelberg.de/). SMART, created by the Bork Lab at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), contains information on hundreds of domains, and provides extensive annotations, phylogenetic analyses, and links to relevant resources about the domains. The tutorial suite, available for single purchase or through a low-priced yearly subscription to all OpenHelix tutorials, contains a narrated, self-run, online tutorial, slides, handouts and exercises. With the tutorial, researchers can quickly learn to effectively use this resource that helps them understand the evolution of function within multi-domain proteins. SMART brings together several functions that a researcher would otherwise have to perform separately. The tutorial will teach users to:
- perform various text and sequence searches
- find proteins based on their domain architecture
- browse for key information about the evolutionary history and relationships of domains of interest to your research
