Time to blast. Let's see what it means for sequences to be similar.
First, we'll plan our experiment. When I think about digital biology experiments, I organize the steps in the following way:
Shotgun sequencing refers to the process whereby a genome is sequenced and assembled with no prior information regarding the genomic location of any of the DNA we sequence. There are quite a few steps that you have to go through before you have an assembled genome sequence.
A few weeks back, we published a review about the development and role of the human reference genome. A key point of the reference genome is that it is not a single sequence.
What tells us that this new form of H1N1 is swine flu and not regular old human flu or avian flu?
If we had a lab, we might use antibodies, but when you're a digital biologist, you use a computer.
Good stuff. This article about DNA Evidence not being infallible caught my attention today.
As I wrote in my own blog here, if this assay actually works, it's another advancement for both prosecutors and (more importantly) defense lawyers.
