DNA sequence analysis Xu Cheng
DNA sequence analysis • Retrieving DNA sequences from databases • Computing nucleotide compositions • Identifying restriction sites • Designing polymerase chain-reaction (PCR) primers • Identifying open reading frames (ORFs) • Predicting elements of DNA/RNA secondary structure • Finding repeats • Computing the optimal alignment between two or more DNA sequences • Finding polymorphic sites in genes (single nucleotide polymorphisms,SNPs) • Assembling sequence fragments
Sequence quality control • Multiple reads on both DNA strands • Removing vector sequences • Repeat mask
test • gi|4099437 • What’s the vector contamination?
