Introduction Maintain credibility and relevance
with users and partners Need to add value beyond
standard bibliographic sources Bioinformatics - free, high quality
scientific data Subject knowledge - Collaboration
– Student benefits

IATUL 2009 - Leuven, Belgium
What is Bioinformatics? Analysis of genes and proteins using genomic
databases
Provides greater insights into the biology of organisms
National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)
Comprised of GenBank, OMIM, BLAST and PubMed and 26 other databases
Changing the nature of genetics research
![Page 6: Iatul june1 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062418/554e8c78b4c90573338b4b10/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
IATUL 2009 - Leuven, Belgium
Why use Bioinformatics? Students get to use free, real life tools to study genes,
proteins and diseases
Primary source of gene & protein information Can be used for gene therapy, biotechnology and agriculture
Easily incorporated into library instruction
Core competency for students in genetics and biochemistry (American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology)
Enhances subject knowledge and collaboration

Sample Questions What is the inheritance pattern of this
disease?
What is name of the gene that causes the disease?
On which chromosome is the gene located?
What is the calculated molecular weight of the protein?

Assessment “I learned how to use PubMed….find a
specific protein…coding sequence…”
“If I use OMIM again in the future it will be for any extra genomic information I need about a disease”
“OMIM is quite complicated but the instruction really helped make this website useful”

Lessons Learned Focus on most useful aspects of resources
Develop sequential steps and links to an assignment
Create exercise that replicates expert use Ask “real” targeted questions
Provide hands-on practice with assistance
