Ihsan is a biologist working with the genetics of a psychrophilic bacterium. He cloned an
antifreeze gene from the bacteria for further analysis. After cloning, he isolated the plasmid
carrying his gene of interest for sequencing. Ihsan finally received the nucleotide sequence of
his gene. Explain in detail how he could verify whether the nucleotide sequence matches his
gene of interest using the bioinformatics databases available.
