The Flowchart of DNA sequence analysis
Domain search: l Most genes/proteins in the database do not have an assigned function. Such sequences show “no hits” or have similarity to conserved hypothetical proteins in the BLAST search results. l One way to assign a tentative function to an unknown protein is to search for conserved domains in that protein because domains are usually the functional units in proteins. l Strategy: similar to BLAST, local alignment analysis. Hidden Markov Model is used. Signal peptide prediction (责任编辑:泉水) |
