Identifiers in Bioinformatics
07 May 2024
Want to learn about identifiers used in bioinformatics? This asynchronous e-learning course can be completed online, at the desired pace and in the absence of an instructor.
Last updated: July 26, 2024, Version 1.1.
Overview
In an era when data is being produced at unprecedented speed, using identifiers is the cornerstone which makes data findable, interoperable, and reuseable.
In this 1-h course, you will learn what is an identifier, common identifiers in bioinformatics, how to find identifiers using different tools and why their use is critical to interoperability. Examples of identifiers connected to vitamin D are presented to illustrate the range of identifiers used in bioinformatics and how these make data interoperable.
Audience
This e-learning course is for students, postdocs, researchers, and data managers from any scientific environment (academia, facilities, companies, etc.) interested using bioinformatic identifiers.
Competencies
At the end of the course, participants should be able to:
- Describe identifiers used in bioinformatics
- Understand why identifiers are essential to data interoperability
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the participants are expected to:
- explain what an identifier is
- recall commonly used identifiers
- use tools to find identifiers
- explore uses of identifiers (F,I,R)
Prerequisites
Knowledge / competencies
None.
Technical
None.
Time required
1 hour
Instructions
- Open the module in a browser tab. As resources are constantly evolving, some of the images may not correspond to the current web site.
- Open a separate browser tab to carry out the exercises and be able to answer the quizzes.
- If you leave a module before the end, your score will be reset to 0.
