neXtProt is a platform developed at SIB that helps researchers answer questions relevant to human proteins. It provides a comprehensive set of high quality, fully traceable and standardized annotations on human proteins at the genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic levels and the tools to explore these, manually or programmatically. The neXtProt search functionalities are based on SPARQL, a semantic query language for databases that is recognized as one of the key technologies of the semantic web and facilitates interoperability with other resources. Acting as the reference database for the HUPO Human Protein Project since 2013, neXtProt has a strong focus on mass spectrometry data and developed specific companion tools for the proteomics community.
Topics that will be covered, and the depth on which they will be covered will depend on the participants needs/wishes:
This course is targeted to any life scientist or bioinformatician who needs to retrieve comprehensive data on human proteins (variants, PTMs, protein-protein interactions, subcellular location, function etc). Proteomicians are particularly welcome.
At the end of the course, the participants should be able to:
This course is designed for beginners and does not require any previous knowledge. However, to get the most of the course, the participants of the hands-on session should prepare a few biological questions beforehand.
