Conceptual understanding of molecular biology and Structural Biology, Sources of biological data: major databases in bioinformatics, data files and analysis. Sequence data, searching and alignment, genome sequencing, genome analysis, genetic variation, gene (Genebank, EMBL, Unigene, Ensemble etc). Computational methods for pathways and system biology (KEGG, BRITE, Genepath and GeNET), Structural Studies (DNA, RNA and Protein): MFold, RNAfold, IFold, PDB. Concept of homology modelling and molecular docking (Patchdoc, Cluspro).
