What Are Some Key Features of GenBank that Aid Cancer Research?
GenBank offers several features that are particularly useful for cancer research:
BLAST: Basic Local Alignment Search Tool helps researchers find regions of similarity between sequences, aiding in the identification of cancer-related genes. GenBank Flat File: This format provides comprehensive details about each sequence, including annotations that describe the gene's function and structure. NCBI Gene: Links to detailed information about genes, including their location, function, and involvement in cancer.
