In this webinar, Dr. Mansour and Dr. Abdelmoneim will provide an overview of the different branches of bioinformatics and their applications in toxicological research. They will discuss how to design your first bioinformatic study and points to consider. They will also present a detailed description of how bioinformatics tools were used to analyze datasets associated with a toxicological investigation.

Overview of Bioinformatic Sequence Analysis and Applications in Toxicology
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatic technologies enabled new directions to address research questions that could not be previously considered due to cost/time prohibiting factors and the lack of molecular information. In the field of toxicology, NGS and bioinformatics helped us gain a great deal of insight on chemical-induced proteome-, genome- and transcriptome-wide effects and discover novel biomarkers of toxicant exposure and effects. However, to exploit the full potential of these technologies in toxicological studies, researchers need to learn more about their applications and limitations.
