The 2009 PhageHunter Teacher Workshop will be held from June 29, 2009 to July 3, 2009 at the University of Pittsburgh's scenic Crawford Hall. We will begin promptly at 9:00 AM in A219B Langely Hall.  Langley and Crawford Halls are part of the Biological Sciences complex.  Remember to dress for the lab. In particular, wear appropriate shoes (no open-toes!). See you there!

Phagehunting

Bioinformatics

Several of the bioinformatics themes touched on in previous years will be continued this year.  However, there are several new phage genomes and key improvements in the tools we use to study them.

Software to be discussed:

• Annotation (and much more)
  • DNA Master
• Gene prediction
  • Glimmer (reference)
  • GeneMark (reference)
    
• Alignment
  • BLAST
  • ClustalW
• Protein phamily and genome maps:
  • Phamerator

 Genomes

The genomes we will use for the wrokshop are:

• BAKA
• SG4
• SirHarley
