DNA
Nucleic acids, and DNA in particular, are macromolecules that contain all the information about how and when proteins must be built.
Nucleic acid
DNA is the genetic material of living organisms
Gene expression
Gene expression is the process by which the information contained in the genes of a DNA sequence is transcribed into RNA and subsequently translated into functional proteins, providing a detailed view of the molecular behavior of genes under different conditions and biological contexts
Data
We will work with the most common textual formats for DNA, RNA and protein sequencing in bioinformatics, FASTA and Genbank; and we will also review other well-known ones.
