2Can Support Portal - Nucleotide Analysis
Introduction
Suppose you are a Molecular Biologist, who has discovered an unknown fragment of DNA deduced from a gel, which you have had sequenced. You will want to try and find out as much as you can about it.

For example is it contaminated with vector sequences? Is it an already known gene. Is it related to any other genes either by having a common evolutionary ancestor or is it similar in function to other genes via convergent evolution? What could the protein sequence be for this nucleotide fragment if it is translated and what might this be like?
Before looking at a sequence to find all this information, we will check an unknown sequence for vector
contamination.
