Bioinformatics & Computational Biology
Module-by-module breakdown of Advanced ARG Detection: Bioinformatics Tools for Research, from foundations to a certified capstone project.
Outline
Explore mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance and functional ARG classes • Navigate major ARG databases (CARD, ResFinder, ARG‑ANNOT, NCBI AMR) • Perform sequence quality control with FASTQC & Trimmomatic
Outline
Apply BLAST, DIAMOND, and HMMER for ARG detection • Utilize CARD/RGI and Python libraries for functional annotation • Quantify ARG abundance across genomes and metagenomes
Outline
Generate phylogenetic and co‑occurrence analyses of ARGs • Create heatmaps, barplots, and network diagrams with Python (seaborn, matplotlib, networkx) • Assemble a reproducible, publication‑ready ARG report
