QUESTION

  • What is the “Official Symbol” and “Official Full Name” for this gene?
Introduction:
This lab activity aims to present the different bioinformatics databases and
related services accessible on the internet and investigate the molecular basis of a
common human disease. Part 1 and 2 utilizes searching in the GenBank, GENE and
OMIM databases at NCBI.
Side-note: The Web is a dynamic environment, where information is constantly added
and removed. Servers "go down", links change without warning, etc. This can lead to
"broken" links and results not being returned from services. Don't give up - give it a
second go and try a search engine using terms related to the page you are trying to
access.
Objective:
1. Familiarize yourself with various bioinformatics databases in the web
2. Manipulate GenBank, GENE and OMIM at NCBI.
Materials:
Bioinformatics databases
Procedure:
Part 1
The following transcript was found to be abundant in a human patient's blood sample.

The only information you are given is the above sequence so you must begin your
investigation with a sequence search - for this example we will use NCBI's BLAST
service at: http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
Note that there are several different "basic BLAST" programs available at NCBI
(Including nucleotide BLAST, protein BLAST, and BLASTX).
