    The following announcement comes from Terri Attwood:

    EMBER was an EC-funded project aiming to develop a suite of freely-available educational materials for introductory courses in bioinformatics, focusing on protein sequence analysis. EMBER comprises a set of self-contained, interactive Web practicals, and the equivalent stand-alone courses on CD-ROM. By providing Web- and CD-based media, we aimed to ensure that students for whom Internet access is not optimal also had access to the same materials. The Web-based practicals can be accessed at:
    http://www.ember.man.ac.uk

    An important aspect of EMBER is the implementation of a database management system, allowing teachers to track their courses and to manage student results; it also allows independent use. To create their own course, accessible only to them and their students, teachers should enter via the login page (username add_course, password r3gist3r) and complete the registration form. This prompts for a password and course access code, and the system responds by providing further confidential details on how to manage the course. Independent users should follow the link to 'create an EMBER account' and select 'independent' from the menu of course options. For more information, see:

    For further details, contact Terri Attwood (attwood[at]bioinf.man.ac.uk) or George Moulton (georgina.moulton[at]manchester.ac.uk).

    Details of the CD-ROM (EMBER - A Practical Guide to Bioinformatics (2005)) are available from ETI Information Services Ltd., Amsterdam. ISBN 90 75000 72 3.
