What is the difference in terms of connectivity between a scale free network and random network?
1913Suppose you used the NCBI Blast server to look for a match to a fruit-fly gene. Suppose further that the best alignment contained this section of an alignment: Hit from database: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXNFSTSQ User sequence: SLEAEAAPASISPSNFSSSQ What do the Xs signify?
1995Suppose the Blast search returned 100 hits. Of these, 17 were false positives and we knew that there were 165 sequences in the database which should have returned a hit with our sequence. How many false negatives were there, and what is the sensitivity and selectivity of Blast in this instance?
2333If a match from a sequence database search is reported to have an E-value of 0.0, should it be considered highly insignificant or highly significant?
1 3518What is the idea behind ?weighting? sequences in the package CLUSTAL W for multiple alignment? How are these weights calculated?
2048When a bicycle is in motion, the force of friction exerted by the ground on the two wheels is such that it acts a) In the backward direction on the front wheel and in the forward direction on the rear wheel. (b) In the forward direction on the front wheel and in the backward direction on the rear wheel. (c) In the backward direction on both the front and rear wheels. (d) In the backward direction on both the front and rear wheels.
