you had 1,500 base pair pieces of random DNA and you
wanted to know how many of them had homology to known
genes, what would you do to determine that?
Answer Posted / guest
use a BLASTX search against a known protein database - such
MCBI's NR database. I would then sort them to determine how
many were unique.
