The tutorial is divided in three main parts:

• In the Sequence part, you will see how to look efficiently for a particular protein sequence, how to blast it against the database of your choice to find homologues, how to perform a multiple alignment of the homologues you've selected and how to edit this alignment.
• The Structure part is about molecular visualization, homology modeling and structural domain prediction.
• In the Function part, you will be introduced to you 3 useful servers to investigate the function of a protein. i.e. finding interactors, co-expressed genes, see a phylogenetic profile, easily access papers citing your gene etc ...

During all the three parts, we will use the S. cerevisiae VPS36 protein as an example.

The ICER is a research center composed of the following three programs: 1. The Malaria Research and Training Center ­ Parasitology Group,  2. The Malaria Research and Training Center ­ Entomology Group  3. The SEREFO Group.

The first two programs develop biomedical researches in malaria, Filariasis and Leishmaniasis. The  third program develops biomedical researches in tuberculosis and HIV.

Bioinformatics was introduced recently to the ICER and is constantly growing. The ICER has one  team, headed by Sidy SOUMARE, which supports the three programmes in all their needs in  informatics and bioinformatics. This team can beneficiate from some computational facilities (4  blast servers, 15 other servers and around 200 terminals), but the ICER staff needs some training in  order to be able to administrate these facilities.

Research Interest and Activities: The following are the present areas of research interest: 1. Functional genomics 2. Analysis of microarray data 3. Interaction between the vector and the parasite.

Centre de Biotechnology de Sfax (CBS):
Bioinformatics activity started at CBS in 2001 with the setting­up of a research and service unit of  bioinformatics. This unit currently includes one senior researcher, one engineer and four Phd  students. Activities include sequence annotation (service) and three research programs: ab initio  prediction of short eukaryote genes, statistical modelling by Bayesian networks approach of signal  transduction pathways and statistical analysis of human sequence variation data (haplotype  reconstruction and linkage disequilibrium). Activities of the Bioinformatics unit could be found at  the website: http://www.cbs.rnrt.tn/ and the research activity report is available under request to  Bioinformatics@cbs.rnrt.tn. Although the computing facilities are good, there is still a need for  trained human resources to strengthen bioinformatics capacities at CBS, particularly in structural  bioinformatics.

• data = mock data for the snakefile to use
• Snakefile = name of the snakemake “formula” file
  • Note: The default file that snakemake looks for in the current working directory is the Snakefile. If you would like to override that you can specify it following the -s
    • snakemake -s snakefile.py
• envs = directory for storing the conda environments that the workflow will use.
• scripts = directory for storing python scripts called by the snakemake formula.
• config.json = json format file with extra parameters for our snakemake file to use.
• cluster.json = json format file with specification for running on the HPC
• samples.txt = file we will use later relating to the config.json file.

Run the snakemake file as a dry run (the example workflow shown above).

• This will build a DAG of the jobs to be run without actually executing them.
• snakemake --dry-run

User can execute rules of interest.

• snakemake --dry-run all VS. snakemake --dry-run call VS. snakemake --dry-run bwa

Run the snakemake file in order to produce an image of the DAG of jobs to be run.

• snakemake --dag | dot -Tsvg > dag.svg OR snakemake --dag | dot -Tsvg > dag.svg

Run the snakemake (this time not as a dry run)

1. snakemake --use-conda

People say that interviews at Google will cover as much ground as possible. As a new college graduate, the ground that I must capture are the following. Part of the list is borrowed from a reddit post: https://www. reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/206ajq/my_onsite_interview_experience_at_google/ #bottom-comments.

1. Data structures

2. Trees and Graph algorithms

3. Dynamic Programming

4. Recursive algorithms

5. Scheduling algorithms (Greedy)

6. Caching 1

7. Sorting

8. Files

9. Computability

10. Bitwise operators

11. System design
