I am trying to get into bioinformatics or just trying to get a jist of what is going on. I wanted to see the difference between different methods for gene variation. I looked at blast and installed it locally on my windows machine. Did the initial steps and got it working. Not sure which protein or gene seq to use but i was trying to figure out other methods or products i can use against similar proteins or gene sequences.
Any idea or suggestion, I know i am asking question here but i tried reading into existing questions and couldnt see any previous topic on this. Anyone who can point to a video would be great also
so here is what i am looking at i guess
good introduction to how gene comparison is done and general genome information get different products or methods used for measuring gene variations
any help or guidance will be great.
