Hey everyone I need some help in my project regarding proteins of CSF in hydrocephalic patients. I am comparing the proteins in CSF of normal and hydrocephalic patients. I wanted to know that which Bioinformatics tools can I use in my research to make it even better. I have planned to use BLAST but whatelse is there? Phylogeny intrigues me as well but I wonder what results can I yield by performing phyletic analysis?
I will appreciate your help.
Peace out :)
Hi Ghina, If you know your sequences, I'd prefer a Smith-Waterman vs. BLAST. BLAST is fast, but SW is more precise. The decision on what tool to use depends if your sequences have a lot of homology with other proteins. Help us out a bit by telling us more about what proteins you are interested in. Brad
hey Brad I'm sorry I was out of station since 2 days, so didn't reply. Thank you for help as long as the proteins are concerned I'm gonna have to ask my supervisor for names P.S she hasn't told me names yet :) I will tell you names ASAP.
Regards
Ghina.
