Sequence Analysis


Sequence analysis is the process you use to find information about a nucleotide or amino acid sequence using computational methods. Common tasks in sequence analysis are identifying genes, determining the similarity of two genes, determining the protein coded by a gene, and determining the function of a gene by finding a similar gene in another organism with a know function.

Example: Sequence Statistics

Starting with a DNA sequence, calculate statistics for the nucleotide content.

Example: Sequence Alignment

Starting with a DNA sequence for a human gene, locate and verify a corresponding gene in a model organism.
