Course Description

Overview

Explore the world of orthology prediction through SwissOrthology, a powerful tool for bioinformatics applications. Delve into the concept of orthologs, genes that diverge through speciation events, and their crucial role in gene function prediction, species tree reconstruction, and comparative analyses. Discover the SIB Resource SwissOrthology, along with OMA (Orthologous MAtrix) and OrthoDB resources. Gain insights into molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and comparative genomics with a focus on arthropods. Learn about interoperability in sciences using SPARQL and RDF, and explore the OMA browser to understand Hierarchical Orthologous Groups (HOGs). Investigate the fascinating world of beetles and their evolutionary arms race with plants. Master the use of Phylo.io, a phylogenetic tree visualizer, to enhance your understanding of evolutionary relationships.
