Is there any software (procedure) which can identify the non functioning gene?

07 July 2013 1 3K Report

I have the whole genomic sequence of a plant. Is there any way to find out the gene which is responsible for the survival or stress response by analyzing the closely related species of same family by using computational analysis?

Antony T Vincent

Probably the best way to do that is with RNAseq (i think)
