Question
Chapter 23.3, Problem 1COMQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Computer programs consists of certain operations that can either manipulate or analyze the genomic data. In studies of gene sequences, a computer data file contains experimentally derived DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (ribonucleic acid) or amino acid sequence, which is entered in the file using instruments such as densitometers or fluorometers.
