Question

1. Explain how evolution is the foundation of Bioinformatics.

2. Develop and discuss a comprehensive project to compare the RNA sequence of COVID-19 with the RNA sequence H1N1.

3. Create an influenza Phylogenetic Tree to discuss a probably origin of COVID-19.

Answer 1

Answer 1:

Evolution is the foundation of bioinformatics. The emergence of new species can be explained based upon the evolution of proteins. New species can emerge through genetic changes. Genome data is compared using bioinformatics tools to study evolution. By using bioinformatics tools, scientists compare specific proteins which are made up of amino acids and the speed with which it evolves. Bioinformatics analyzes genomic data, sequence of molecules, molecular folding, genome annotation, gene modelling, design, etc.
