ronthepon Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 I found this little term mentioned on one of science buddies projects site. (http://www.sciencebuddies.org/mentoring/project_ideas/Genom_p003.shtml?from=TSW) What is it all about? Any info? Quote
ronthepon Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Posted June 9, 2006 None? Is this term foreign to everyone? Quote
InfiniteNow Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 Is that like scientific notation? Maybe it's something like: [LATEX]In(flu ^enza)[/LATEX] :hihi: Slight bump for Ronthepon's question, because I'm now also curious. :) :cup: Quote

CraigD Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 I found this little term mentioned on one of science buddies projects site. …What is it all about?It appears to be an exercise in comparing vaccine viral DNA to wild viral DNA, the end in mind being predicting the effectiveness of the vaccine. It focuses on using a DNA sequence comparison tool called BLAST (Information and downloads available here) Thought I don’t know much about the algorithm(s) used by BLAST, it sounds as if it implements something similar to the solution to the LCS problem that the Unix diff program implements.
