Learn how to use comparative genomics to improve your understanding of microbial genomes. This course would benefit those interested in learning how to use tools to research and investigate bacterial genomes and gain bioinformatics skills to assess the role of microbial genes in disease. Students will gain experience in comparative genomics, using the Artemis comparison tool to survey, visualize, and compare genomes and analyze the results. This course will be of interest to anyone interested in microbiology, including undergraduate students, graduate students, biomedical researchers, microbiologists, bioinformaticians, professors, and health professionals. The opportunity to gain experience using the Artemis Comparison Tool, a computational tool designed for comparative genomics, will also be of interest to all those who have studied our recommended prerequisite courses: those with an interest in genomics and disease outbreaks, teachers, and their science and computer science students from 16 to 18 years old. Ideally, you will have completed [Bacterial Genomes: From DNA to Protein Function Using Bioinformatics] (https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/bacterial-genomes-bioinformatics/4) and [Bacterial Genomes: Data Access and Analysis of the microbial genome] (https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/bacterial-genomes-access-and-analysis/4) before joining the course.
Disease outbreaks are still a huge problem in our modern world. Comparison between two or more bacterial genomes can help improve understanding of the causes of pathogenicity and disease outbreaks caused by bacteria.
In this course you will learn how to use the free Artemis Comparison Tool (ACT). Developed at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, ACT will help you visualize genome comparison and analyze the results.

< p> This course will give you the opportunity to learn and use the Artemis Comparison Tool (ACT), a free tool used to show pairwise comparisons between two DNA sequences. To run this software effectively, you will need a computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux) with 2 GB of RAM. The current version of ACT requires Java version 11 to run properly. Java 11 can be downloaded from
