Question

Which of the following is incorrect regarding GeneQuiz?

(a) It is a web server for protein DNA annotation

(b) It is a web server for protein sequence annotation

(c) It compares a query sequence against databases using BLAST and FASTA to identify homologs with high similarities

(d) It performs domain analysis using the PROSITE and Blocks databases

This question was addressed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

The above asked question is from Genome Annotation in division Genome Mapping, Assembly and Comparison of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

Right option is (a) It is a web server for protein DNA annotation

For explanation: It performs domain analysis using the PROSITE and Blocks databases as well as analysis of secondary structures and super-secondary structures that include prediction of coiled coils and transmembrane helices. Multiple search and analysis results are compiled to produce a summary of protein function with an assigned confidence level (clear, tentative, marginal, and negligible).
