Document Summary
Bioinformatics: using comp sci to process biological data: looks at: Database organization, management and browsers: sequence analysis programs: 2+ types: blastn = nucleotide sequence similarity, blastp = protein sequence similarity. Blast it (aka input it into the tool) Ex: put nf1 protein in, will return the protein coded by ira, which is a. Gtpase accelerating protein that regulates ras (which controls cell replication and differentiation) Differentiation through speciation event: paralogues are similar genes (i. e. alpha and beta tubulin) in the same species: they have different functions. Phenomics: phenotype: observable traits, phenome: entire phenotype of an individual, we need machines in this field as we are easily fooled by optical illusions.
