this is related to BLAST and alignment

last week we had the first lecture

• intro to bioinformatics
• what’re the 3 websites responsible for gathering the data
  • all of them communicate together

if they dont collaborate

we wont know what enters here and there

and if you notice in the practical, there are version updates

• annotations of each differs
• EMBL → provides details on exons
• NCBI → ideal for blasts

be familiar with each

• so why 3?
  • why do we need bioinformatics?
    • easy access (accessibility)
      • tons of information from DNA sequencing
      • we cant have it in papers
      • it’s designed to gather the information
        • we gather it, and then we annotate it
          • physical mapping
          • what chromosome, where exons, the details within the sequence itself

things are getting complex
