This document discusses bioinformatics and provides steps to find information about a gene from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database. It explains that bioinformatics is the computational analysis of biological data and lists some major bioinformatics databases, including NCBI, EMBL, and DDBJ. It then gives instructions on how to search the NCBI database for information on the ckit gene by opening the NCBI homepage in a browser, selecting "gene" from the dropdown menu, searching for "ckit", and clicking on the result to view detailed gene information.

Bioinformatics databases • NCBI (The National Center for Biotechnology Information) From USA applicable all over the world
• EMBL(The European Molecular Biology Laboratory)
Contain European data
• DDBJ(The DNA Data Bank of Japan )
Contain Asian data NCBI Practical 1
• Find information about a gene from NCBI?
• Gene name = ckit How could we open the homepage of NCBI?
• Open google browser
• Search NCBI • Click first link • Homepage of NCBI will open Steps • Home page of NCBI was opened • In left box from dropdown menu gene was selected • In right box gene name “ckit” was typed • Clicked on search Steps • A page was opened which contained information about ckit gene in gene database
• Many result of search was found
• Open the result of your interest
• As my interest was in homo sapiens
• So, I clicked on first link whose gene id was 3815
Steps • After clicking on the first link another page was opened which contained detailed information about ckit gene in Homo sapiens • In this way I found information about ckit gene from NCBI as in fig
