Tools Used in Research

Human Genome Browser- used to assist in researching the genes focused on in research

BLAST- used to find isoforms and similar alignments of the original gene or protein focused on, across a range of species

MEGA- used in the creation of alignments of desired proteins with specific parameters for specified focus.

KEGG Pathway- used to help define the effects felt in the pathway of mutated genes

Alignment of proteins from MEGA using Clustal W parameters:



Alignment, a visual representation of the protein sequences being focused on. Allows for easy comparisons.

Phylogenic tree from MEGA using the Maximum Parsimony tree type with 500 Bootstrap replicates:



Phylogenic tree, a visual representation of the evolutionary relationship between the sequences. The higher values represent the high conservation level in the protein sequences among species.
