Overview
For the final project, you will use the gene you identified in the gene annotation project and the protein used in protein annotation project to:
- Identify the diseases implicated by your gene: genomic features at the gene level. i.e SNPs
- Identify the diseases implicated at protein level: mutations at protein and structural levels: could include variations in amino acid, motifs, functions etc.
Select one disease either at the gene or protein level give more detailed discussion on:
- Briefly explain the disease mechanism as it relates to the gene/protein
- The bioinformatics approaches used to identify the specific genomic features implicated
- Identify and discuss the bioinformatics and data analysis tools to identify the implicated genomic features the disease.
- Discuss the drug targets identified if any
- Implicated pathway
General requirements:
- Screenshots must be provided for the tools used.
- Minimum number of pages is 5 and maximum is 15 pages
- Must include references
- It must be written in a research paper format including an abstract and title.
