GO Slim Analysis

Controlled vocabularies such as the Gene Ontology enable you to compare large numbers of genes and find differences in gene content.  In this exercise we will compare the gene content of two fungi. 1. Programs such as PoGO and BLAST2GO … Continue reading

Phylogenetic Analysis Tutorial

Tutorial 1: Comparing gene trees and species trees. Among three species of fungi in the Class Sordariomycetes, there are three possible species trees (including an outgroup).  In this tutorial, we will construct three gene trees and compare them to the … Continue reading

PROSITE Patterns Tutorial

Note: before beginning these tutorials, import the file (hydrophobins.geneious) into Geneious. Tutorial 1.  Finding proteins that match a pattern. 1.  Proteins that are secreted through the Agrobacterium tumefaciens type IV secretion system are reported to have the C terminal consensus pattern … Continue reading

Gene Identification Tutorial

DNA Sequence for these tutorials: oryza.fasta a segment of genomic DNA from (Oryza sativa). 1. First, we will align ESTs to the genomic DNA with BLASTN.  Open the link to the Oryza genomic DNA segment above and copy/paste it into Geneious. … Continue reading
