Minsu Kim / BLAST

In bioinformatics, BLAST for Basic Local Alignment Search Tool is an algorithm for comparing primary biological sequence information, such as the amino-acid sequences of proteins or the nucleotides of DNA sequences.

 

NCBI site provide BLAST tool. So, i took the several sample in NCBI site.

I bring the human's insulin gene. and run the BLAST.

According to expectation, Human gene is matching on 100%. Also, it showed a high degree of accuracy with gorillas.
