Basics Of Bioinformatics Research - From Idea To Article

Learn the basics of computer aided drug designing and how to publish your first paper from scratch in Bioinformatics.

What you'll learn
Perform gene expression analysis
Create a Protein-protein interaction map and calculate hub genes using Cytoscape
Screening of potential drug targets
ADMET analysis of drugs DruLito and OSIRIS
Perform molecular docking using Autodock Vina
Visualization of the docked complex using Biovia Discovery Studio
Enrichment analysis using EnrichR
Finding microRNAs associated with hub genes using miRNet
Manuscript preparation and using a bibliographic management tool (Zotero will be used)
Select a proper journal (Scopus indexed as well as PubMed indexed) for your first paper.
Uploading a paper to BioRxiv (getting DOI for your first paper)
Requirements
No prior knowledge of softwares for drug discovery is required as in this course no coding has been used
This course is meant for all the those who have love for life sciences and want to start their research career
This course is meant for all those who are interested in learning computer aided drug designing
This course is meant for those who are interested in learning molecular docking
This course is meant for those who are interested in bioinformatics
This course is meant for all those who are interested in learning bioinformatics (project based approach)
Description
A complete guide to the development of ideas for in-silico research to the publication of a paper - yes this is what you getFrom idea development for research to writing and publishing a paper, yes that is what you get. Learn the basics of data analysis for gene expression analysis, molecular docking, visualization of the docked complex, enrichment analysis, microRNA identification production of publication-quality images, writing a research article properly, and using Zotero - a free reference management tool. In this course, you will be getting a proper idea of how can a set of genes can be used to design drugs and how using molecular docking techniques we can validate our results for the best drug. You will be getting a good idea of 'drug repurposing' also after the completion of the hands-on training session associated with this course. No prior knowledge or skills are required to attain this course and this course is deliberately kept straightforward for new learners. In this course, you will get all the necessary skills required to write a research article on your own, guidelines for selecting a proper journal for your manuscript, and also you can extend these research ideas to wet-lab experiments as well.ALL THE BEST:)
