At the same time, there will be a bioinformatics workshop where secondary school students can familiarise themselves with simple bioinformatics tools and databases. We will show them how to find a DNA sequence of a particular gene, how to find parts of the gene that are transcribed to a protein in this sequence and how to use bioinformatics tools to predict the impact of DNA sequence changes (mutations) on the protein product of the gene.
The event is organized by dr. Nataša Karas Kuželički, dr. Tijana Markovič, dr. Alenka Šmid, dr. Janja Zupan and dr. Nika Lovšin (UL FFA).
