Project update

Project update.

Its saturday morning, 9.43am, i am sitting in the LRC at a computer (and have been since sunrise i.e. around 8.40am) starting my project. Well heres the deal, project days start properly on tuesday, thats when we get lab time, but im doing a bioinformatics practical, so i can pretty much do lab work whenever i can get to a computer. So i figured it would be a good idea to do a few test runs of this thing, hence me being in the library so early in the morning, its crazily quiet (only 3 people so far) and im trying to blast the nucleotide sequences, then put a couple into ClustalW in the fasta format and see how they are the same, found a niffty little thing on Ensembl though which seems to have already done the MSA (multiple sequence alignments) for me, with all 32 species .... which could be pretty useful, need to check its right though.
