Tools and Databases

Question 1

USE OF BLASTP

Answer 1

BLASTP is used to compare a protein query sequence to a protein sequence database.

Question 2

Use of BLASTN

Answer 2

Used to compare a nucleotide query sequence to a nucleotide sequence database. Often used to identify homologous sequences

Question 3

USE OF BLASTX

Answer 3

BLASTX is used to compare a nucleotide query sequence to a protein sequence database

Question 4

USE OF TBLASTN

Answer 4

TBLASTN is used to compare a protein query sequence to the six-frame translations of a nucleotide sequence database.

Question 5

What is the use of NCBI?

Answer 5

NCBI provides access to a vast collection of biomedical and genomic data, including nucleotide and protein sequences, gene expression data, and structural information.

NCBI offers a suite of tools for analyzing and interpreting this data, such as BLAST for sequence similarity searches and CLUSTALW for multiple sequence alignment.

Question 6

What is the use of UniProtKB?

Answer 6

resource for protein information for a vast collection of protein sequences. This includes: Protein function, Protein structure, variants and isoforms, and literature
