Hi, I have the total genome sequence of an organism. I want to scan for the presence of a special gene from this sequence. How is it done, with which program should I do it? I would be very grateful if you could reply urgently.
Get the fasta sequence of your gene of interest from GenBank (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/) and simply align your sequence in BioEdit (https://bioedit.software.informer.com/7.2/) with the sequence of your gene of interest and find out your target sequence from the alignment.
