Our Animal DNA Workshop Video
Explore the tree of life using different bioinformatic tools in this two part practical activity. In Practical 1, learners will use the Ensembl database to find a specific protein sequence and run a BLAST to find out similarities between proteins found in humans to those found in other species. In Practical 2, learners will use their sequences from Practical 1 to align them to create a phylogenetic tree using an alignment programme called Clustal Omega.
