In bioinformatics, a sequence alignment is a way of arranging the sequences of DNA, RNA, or protein to identify regions of similarity that may be a consequence of functional, structural, or evolutiona
Self comparison of a part of a mouse strain genome. The dot-plot shows a patchwork of lines, demonstrating duplicated segments of DNA.
In molecular biology and genetics, DNA annotation or genome annotation is the process of describing the structure and function of the components of a genome, by analyzing and interpreting them in orde
An example Gene Ontology (GO) ancestor chart organized as a directed acyclic graph taken from QuickGO. It shows the molecular functions, biological processes, and cellular components in which the matrilin complex, a component of the extracellular matrix, is involved. Every box is an ontology term that falls into one of the three GO categories and is color-coded respectively. Ontology terms are related to each other through specific qualifiers (such as "is a", "part of", etc.), which are represented by different kinds of arrows.
