SEQUENCE ANALYSIS OF XYLANASE USING BASIC INSILICO TOOLS
N. Nirmal Kumar*
ABSTRACT
BLAST and Rasmol which is a sequence similarity search program is an excellent starting point for teaching bioinformatics to students and it has the potential to enhance a student’s grasp of biomedical, biochemical, and biogeochemical concepts. This article discusses about the underlying concepts of the Xylanase by BLAST algorithm, the scores and statistics of thealignments; with illustrations using the NCBI BLAST. The article also emphasizes the need for students to befamiliarized with the basic concepts and programs of bioinformatics which is a necessity in biological sciencesnow-a-days because of the recent advances in data generation and analysis.
