Two versions of the BayGenomics on-line tutorials are now available. These versions differ in the resources used for DNA analysis and in the nature of the software used to visualize structural information. These tutorials were taken from previously offered BayGenomics hands-on workshops.
Version 2:
Exon determinations are done via the BLAT server at UCSC. The initial nucleotide sequence is not translated. There is a simulated protein pattern/motif determination via MEME at UCSD's supercomputing site. Chimera is the structure visualization tool.
Version 1:
Uses BLAST searches of the HTGS database and NCBI's blast2sequences for exon determinations. Initial nucleotide sequence is translated into protein. RasMol is used as the structure visualization tool.
Check the information contained the Remote user information page of the respective version for details on obtaining the necessary additional software to carry out the exercises.
Individuals can elect to do all but structural visualization portions of version 2 and then switch back to version 1 and RasMol if they can not get Chimera running properly on their desktop machine.
