Practicals

The Prediction Tools and Comaparative Modelling practical (Wednesday 18th February) is a web based practical.

Mini-Projects

Your mini-projects will be largely web-based (some literature work may also be required). Most of the web-based practical work will depend on the lectures on Predictive Tools, Comparative Modelling and Database Tools. The Sequence Databases and Tools / Comparative Modelling practicals are a rehearsal for your projects!
