Genomewide Analysis of RNA and Protein

In the first third of this book, we described how to find sequences (and other information) in databases, how to align DNA or protein sequences in a pairwise fashion or in a multiple sequence alignment, and how to perform evolutionary studies, including the visualization of aligned sequences through molecular phylogeny. In this middle third of the book we follow the flow of central dogma of molecular biology by moving from DNA to RNA (Chapters 8 and 9) to protein (Chapters 10 and 11). We then discuss functional genomics (Chapter 12), which is the genomewide study of the function of genes and gene products.
