Protein functions only
SwissProt stores
Curated and predicted proteins

The NCBI RefSeq database
contains sequences of wildtype and mutated genes
only sequences of wildtype genes
only sequences of mutated genes
FastA is a
fixed sequence format
fixed vocabulary for function annotation
tool to compare sequence similarity
database for functional annotation
BLAST can be used to
look for metabolic maps
find similarities in gene expression
look for sequence homology
get EC numbers of enzymes
Significant BLAST results always have
a very high E-value
a very low E-value
If I am looking at the same gene or protein in different species, I am looking at
ortholog[ue]s
homolog[ue]s
paralog[ue]s
catalog[ue]s
