DNA Sequence of
NADH2 gene from the Fortune Bay "Sea Monster"
This creature was identified by means of a BLAST search,
[ BLAST : Basic Local Alignment
and Search
Tool ]
which
determines
the homology
of an unknown DNA sequence
to the
library of all known DNA sequences
To repeat the identification:
Copy the
above DNA sequence
Go to the NCBI
BLAST site
Request a "nucleotide blast" (BLAST)
Paste
the DNA sequence into the Search box
Under 'Choose search set' click 'nucleotide collection (nr/nt)'
Under 'Program Selection' click 'Megablast'
Hit
the BLAST button
Wait for your
result
