Resumen

RIBEIRO JUNIOR, Howard Lopes; OLIVEIRA, Roberta Taiane Germano de  y  CECCATTO, Vânia Marilande. Bioinformática como recurso pedagógico para o curso de ciências biológicas na Universidade Estadual do Ceará - UECE - Fortaleza, Estado do Ceará. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2012, vol.34, n.01, pp.129-138. ISSN 2178-5201.

The objective of this study was to evaluate and apply the Bioinformatics theoretical contents and practical for the course students in Biological Sciences Degree Fully enrolled in the disciplines of General Genetics and Molecular Biology, State University of Ceara in 2010. The theoretical approach previously tested (RIBEIRO JUNIOR, 2011) consisted of a presentation of historical concepts, basic and specific to current advances in research involved the areas of molecular biology. The practice of "Building a Molecular Phylogeny in Silico" is designed to become functional in practice the concepts presented above, using the database of the National Center for Biotechnology Information, NCBI, and their sequence alignment tool, the BLASTp (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool Protein-Protein.) positive results obtained with the application of the lecture Introduction to Bioinformatics and practical activities were highlighted with the characterizations of molecular phylogenies of the sequences hypothetical proposals for the implementation of the alignments and the statements of students mentioned above. These activities were seen as essential so that students could experience step by step to a better understanding of the emerging field of life sciences: the Bioinformatics.
