Identifying Promoter Regions Using the Viterbi Algorithm

Due to the versatility of DNA, it’s crucially important to determine what certain parts of the gene do. Looking at RNA polymerase transcription, it’s clear that there are three major regions in genes: Promoter regions: regions upstream or next to where a gene will be transcribed that RNA polymerase binds…

Chromatin Identification and Genome Annotation using Computational Methods

The Epigenome and Its Function What is the Epigenome? The human body has over 210 cell types, even though each one of those cells stores the same information inside of their DNA. How is this possible? The epigenome stores the information about the cell type and the state of the cell: it creates chemical modifications that influence gene expression. …

Sequence Alignment and the Needleman-Wunsch Algorithm

Did you know that human DNA and chimp DNA are 98.8% the same? Although this number may sound small, humans and chimps are very different when we go into our DNA. Out of the roughly three billion base pairs that make up our genetic code, 1.2% of them equates to…
