Welcome to the Impilopedia, a resource that wants to be the starting point for exploration in bioinformatics as well as learning the proper use of the various tools included in Impilo. Our goal is to build a documentation that complement the training that some members of the Impilo team provide at the University of Montreal; therefore, its structure is very similar to the courses' structures.

• The command line can be your friend: a brief Linux introduction for biologists
• Data sources in bioinformatics
• Sequence Alignment: pairwise alignments
• Sequence Alignment: multiples alignments
• Sequence annotations: gene finding
• Sequence annotations: motif finding
• Structural analysis of nucleic acids
• Proteins: properties
• Structural analysis of proteins
• Sequencing: high-throughput and assembly
• Gene expression analysis
• Image analysis

Remember: this is a wiki!! Although this documentation looks a lot like our courses, it does not have to stay like that, especially if you create your own Impilo server. In addition, we use the wiki way to build the Impilopedia so that others might provide inputs in other topics as well as complements our material. We all profit by sharing our knowledge
