D AY 1 Applications of Bioinformatics Analysis of sequence, genome, proteins, data faster than ever Can be used with nearly any biological field Age network Extracting the strawberry DNA
D AY 2 Bio-Linux Setting up the virtual machine was informational Basic linux command Learning about Perl
D AY 3 More Bioinformatics websites/software Websites, NCBI, BLAST, JEMBOSS More advanced Bio-Linux commands, transeq, seqret, etc. All the examples provided
D AY 4 Identifying an organism by using a few genes Applied all the tools we had learned about We obtained the target sequences of the organisms Design a primer by finding similar stretches of DNA Used Jemboss applications to more efficiently do it, shows why Bioinformatics is so useful Identifying various organisms through the primers constructed
