From the results of your BLAST search you can link to the GENE entry for one of your top hits. This link is located under the “Related Information” heading at the right hand side of each displayed alignment (i.e. scroll down to the “Alignments” section).QUESTIONWhat is the “Official Symbol” and “Official Full Name” for this gene? Introduction:This lab activity aims to present the different bioinformatics databases andrelated services accessible on the internet and investigate the molecular basis of acommon human disease. Part 1 and 2 utilizes searching in the GenBank, GENE andOMIM databases at NCBI.Side-note: The Web is a dynamic environment, where information is constantly addedand removed. Servers "go down", links change without warning, etc. This can lead to"broken" links and results not being returned from services. Don't give up - give it asecond go and try a search engine using terms related to the page you are trying toaccess.Objective:1. Familiarize yourself with various bioinformatics databases in the web2. Manipulate GenBank, GENE and OMIM at NCBI.Materials:Bioinformatics databasesProcedure:Part 1The following transcript was found to be abundant in a human patient's blood sample.>example1ATGGTGCATCTGACTCCTGTGGAGAAGTCTGCCGTTACTGCCCTGTGGGGCAAGGTGAACGTGGATGAAGTTGGTGGTGAGGCCCTGGGCAGGCTGCTGGTGGTCTACCCTTGGACCCAGAGGTTCTTTGAGTCCTTTGGGGATCTGTCCACTCCTGATGCAGTTATGGGCAACCCTAAGGTGAAGGCTCATGGCAAGAAAGTGCTCGGTGCCTTTAGTGATGGCCTGGCTCACCTGGACAACCTCAAGGGCACCTTTGCCACACTGAGTGAGCTGCACTGTGACAAGCTGCACGTGGATCCTGAGAACTTCAGGCTCCTGGGCAACGTGCTGGTCTGTGTGCTGGCCCATCACTTTGGCAAAGAATTCACCCCACCAGTGCAGGCTGCCTATCAGAAAGTGGTGGCTGGTGTGGCTAATGCCCTGGCCCACAAGTATCACTAAGCTCGCTTTCTTGCTGTCCAATTTThe only information you are given is the above sequence so you must begin yourinvestigation with a sequence search - for this example we will use NCBI's BLASTservice at: http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Note that there are several different "basic BLAST" programs available at NCBI(Including nucleotide BLAST, protein BLAST, and BLASTX).

Increasingly, whole-genome sequencing of individuals is being done to help identify and treat medical conditions. Genome sequencing invariably identifies a number of variations, some common and some rare, that might be clinically relevant. For example, suppose a person had their genome sequenced to help determine their risk for cardiovascular disease and, just by chance, the sequence revealed that they carry one or more variants that predispose them to cancer or Alzheimer disease. Does the sequencing laboratory or physician have an obligation to report this finding, which was not the purpose of the sequencing and which the patient did not request? What about reporting variants for which no or limited information can be provided about their clinical significance? Does the answer to this question differ for sequencing done on children?
How can we ensure that a patient’s privacy is maintained as genome information accumulates within medical records? How would you feel about allowing your genome sequence to be available for use in research?
Molecular biologists rely on many, often sophisticated, techniques to pursue their discipline. One may list ultracentrifugation, electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, electrophoresis, and computer interfacing as fundamental tools. Model organisms provide the raw materials for study. List three "organisms" (or organismic groups) often used by recombinant DNA technologists and describe a major advantage of each group.
