ABOUT
This course highlights the technologies of metabolomics and proteomics for plant biotechnology. Equal time will be given to lectures and hands-on exercises. Topics include an introduction to biological liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), targeted and untargeted methods for metabolomics, metabolite identification, quantitation in LC-MS/MS, web resources for plant molecular biology, ontologies for plant research, and RNA-Seq for organisms lacking published genomes.
This course will help participants improve their theoretical understanding of mass spectrometry for plant biology as well as their skills at using OpenMS and other bioinformatics resources.
