ELIXIR node event Bioinformatics tools and data retrieval

View event

Date: 8 - 9 November 2022

The Job Dispatcher service at the EMBL-EBI provides access to various sequence analysis tools and a database retrieval system (Dbfetch).

This virtual course is split into two sessions running over two days. 

During the first session, you will learn how to access and use our sequence analysis tools (Eg: NCBI BLAST+, Clustal Omega, EMBOSS); and retrieve various database entries at the EMBL-EBI using Dbfetch. This session will also explain how to use sequence alignment and search effectively to find relevant results.

The second session focuses on alternative ways to access these services beyond the website. This session will introduce the Job Dispatcher RESTful API, show how to access our tools programmatically, and integrate them into workflows
