In this course participants will explore EMBL-EBI resources for genomics, protein interaction and structural biological applications. The sessions focus on browsing, searching and retrieving genomic data, protein interaction information and three-dimensional structures. 

Day 1 will cover the Ensembl genome browser resource, where researchers can explore annotated genomes and features of interest including genes, s, transcripts, and variants. Participants will also be introduced to the Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) tool and BioMart for bulk data download. 

Day 2 will introduce protein-protein interactions and the molecular interactions and complex databases IntAct and Complex Portal, where researchers can browse, visualize and download protein interaction and complex data. The afternoon sessions will focus on the structural biology archive Protein Data Bank in Europe, where participants can browse and visualize molecular structure data, with an emphasis on the recent Cryo-EM database EMDB/EMPIAR.

The course will be delivered by experienced and dedicated EMBL-EBI trainers, and will involve presentations, demonstrations and practical exercises to give participants hands-on experience.
