Resources introduce bioinformatics databases and software tools. Resources are grouped by topics and presented operationally. The description of a resource is modular: the more modules, the more detailed.
Case studies describe concrete situations encountered when using bioinformatics resources in proteomics. A case is in fact a question that needs to be solved with bioinformatics means. A case study depicts a stepwise strategy for searching information that answers the question.
A scenario is a series of case studies. Each case study addresses one question at a time. While a scenario relates the case studies and shows how to solve successive and connected questions.
Practice comprises a series of short quizzes used to evaluate user’s knowledge level in a given domain, and a series of exercises devoted to practice what has been learned in Resources or Cases studies sections.
Two additional articles were recently added:
PeptideAtlas and PRIDE.
These articles belong to a new Resources category entitled "Proteomics data repositories and databases", which also integrate articles from the former "PTM" category.
