G-Protein Coupled Receptor Gene Duplication Project

G-Protein Coupled Receptor Gene Duplication Project

Introduction
The broad aim of this project is to analyze genomic sequence data with hidden Markov models (HMMs). The HMM analysis program used is called HMMER and can be downloaded here.

Research

 * Progress Record
 * Accession numbers of the Rhodopsin sequences used by Fredriksson and Schioth (2005) to construct Hidden Markov Models

Overview
This area of research requires training in bioinformatics. As a result, it involves an academic background which is a combination of biology and computer science.
