AI Thread Summary
To obtain full-length amino acid sequences, users can utilize the NCBI website, specifically its protein and nucleotide databases. By searching for the desired protein or organism, users can access relevant sequences. If an accession number is available from scientific literature, it can also be used for direct searches. Clarification was provided that the coding sequence (CDS) refers to the open reading frame (ORF) and is typically the premature mRNA form. For beginners in bioinformatics, recommendations for simple and useful resources or books were sought, highlighting the need for accessible learning materials. Additionally, language barriers in understanding bioinformatics terminology were discussed, with advice suggesting that familiarity with the underlying theory can aid comprehension. A user mentioned working on a tutorial about bioinformatics to help others navigate the field.

where can we get the full length of amino acid sequences? i have very little bioinformatic background so please the more you explain the better it would be :-p :biggrin:


thank you!

go to the ncbi website (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) and do a search in their protein or nucleotide databanks. You type the protein or/and the organism that you want and can get acces to the protein or nucleotide sequence. If you have an accession number from a certain sequence (it usually giveen in scientific papers), you can find it using the search engine.
 
but the CDS is that the nucleotide sequence of the mature mRNA or premature mRNA?

BWT i am a beginner and really want to learn and use the tools in bioinformatic. do you know any place or books which is simple but quite useful?

thanks again!
 
the CDS is the ORF and it will be the premature form.

I am in the process of writing a tutorial about bioinformation.

hi!
is this your thesis or you have finished studying? you must know a lot about bioinformatic, then :cool: :smile:

the problem is English is not my language that is why a lot of words and explanations in the bioiformatic sites confuse me. i hardly understand what they are looking for :cry: do you have any advice you can afford me?

thanks!
 
I worked a lot with bioinformatics and took a graduate level course. I write the tutorial during my free time and it will be posted in the science article website.

As far as the language goes, english is not my first language either and sometimes to understand what they are asking for you have to know the theory behind tools.
 
okey! i will remember that :approve:



thanks!
