WHEN: 4-5pm, the fourth Tuesday of each month:

Feb 22 -- Resources for Life Sciences

Mar 15 -- Biomaterials
Geared towards the engineer finding information in the life sciences field.

Apr 26 -- Bioinformatics
Learn how to use BLAST as an experimental tool.  We will cover the use of filters as BLAST tools and contrast them with the use of PHI-BLAST.  We will learn about substitution matrices and how the PSSM relates to PSI-BLAST.  We will discuss how to avoid doing a BLAST search and obtain more information than if you had done one.
