Courtney Crummett
Wed Jan 19, 02-04:00pm, 14N-132 (DIRC)

Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Limited to 20 participants.
Single session event

Learn to use the BIOBASE Knowledge Library (BKL) and Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD) bioinformatics tools. Interested in finding out what's known in the scientific literature about a particular gene, disease or drug? Want to apply that information to high-throughput data analysis? Learn to search the BKL by topic or multi-gene data sets. Interested in human inherited diseases and their associated mutations? Learn to use HGMD, a comprehensive database on human germ-line mutations associated with disease, to determine whether an identified gene lesion is novel, search for known mutations within a given gene, or search for a type of gene mutation within a chromosomal location. The training room has 20 PC terminals and a large table in the back for laptop use. Wait listed folks will be invited to bring their laptops. Please register at http://info-libraries.mit.edu/events/
