Alignment of DNA and protein sequences is a basic tool in the study of evolutionary, structural and functional relationship among macromolecules. Present sequence alignment methods are somewhat ...

This involves overlapping the ends of the fragments because the current DNA sequencing technology is unable to read the entire genome sequence at once. The correct alignment of the DNA segments is ...

To understand the nature of the virus we undertook a special bioinformatics study of its complete RNA sequence from African ... practice is to use various alignment techniques like BLAST, CLUSTALW ...

by linking the four nucleotide bases comprising DNA—A, T, C, and G—into a particular genetic sequence. Making these sequences is time-consuming and expensive, though, and the longer your ...

The DNA sequences of these genes are very rich in G and C molecules, two of the four “base” molecules that make up DNA. We know GC-rich sequences cause problems for certain DNA-sequencing ...

Biochemical reconstitution and laser trapping show that centromeric DNA sequences are important for the transmission of microtubule-based forces to chromosomes.
