Learn to use BLAST, (Basic Local Alignment and Search Tool), the sequence similarity searching tool from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at NIH. You can use BLAST to find sequences similar to your nucleotide or protein sequences. There are also a variety of specialized BLAST programs available, including Primer-BLAST, VecScreen, SNP BLAST options, multiple alignment tools, and more. You can easily compare 2 sequences to each other. These can provide invaluable information in your quest to infer functional and taxonomic relationships for known or unknown sequences, or to further design experiments. You will learn:
