This course is now full with a long waiting list.
Rhea is an expert-curated knowledgebase of chemical and transport reactions of biological interest and the standard for enzyme and transporter annotation in UniProtKB. Rhea uses the chemical dictionary ChEBI (Chemical Entities of Biological Interest) to describe reaction participants. Rhea provides computationally tractable enzyme annotations in UniProtKB that support chemical ontology and structure based searches in the UniProt website, REST API, and SPARQL endpoint. Rhea also provides reaction data for a host of other resources including ChEBI, MetaboLights, Reactome, and The Gene Ontology, which now bases enzyme molecular functions on Rhea. Rhea and UniProtKB are SIB resources; they are listed in Expasy, the Swiss Bioinformatics Portal.
The goal of this course is to provide basic theoretical and practical knowledge that will enable participants to mine enzyme data in UniProtKB using chemical structure data and chemical classifications from Rhea and ChEBI.
This course is addressed to biologists, bioinformaticians, cheminformaticians, programmers and data scientists working with enzyme and small molecule data, including those working with metabolomics data and metabolic networks.
At the end of the course, the participants are expected to:
This course is designed for beginners with a basic knowledge of biology and chemistry.
This course will be streamed, you are thus required to have your own computer with an Internet connection.
