CFTRGenomics

To investigate if the CFTR gene is conserved in other species, a program called Geneious was used to locate the human version of the gene. Geneious uses all available data from NCBI, searching through, literally, billions of sequences to obtain results. After locating the necessary files, I export the sequences into MEGA to align the sequences. The alignment of sequences is done through ClustalW process to compare nucleotide base sequences.
