Explain database search, Biology

Assignment Help:

Database Search: Once an open reading frame or the partial amino acid sequence has been pre-determined, the investigator compares sequence with others in the databases using a computer and a search algorithm. This is generally done in a protein database such as PIR or Swiss-Prot. Nucleic acid sequences are in the GenBank and EMBL databases. The search algorithms commonly used are BLAST and FASTA.
