Cataloguing sequences homologous to the Rhodobacter flagellar motor
The aim of the prject is to catalogue genome and sequence information available for study of the Rhodobacter flagellar motor as function of sequence distance, sequencing time and function. Getting an overview of the available relevant data is a prerequisite to using the information optimally. Tabulating as function of distance is valuable as different distances are optimal for different purposes, as function of sequencing time is informative as it will give a feeling for how strong the growth in the data is and finally function is important to trace overall changes in functionality. Finally in detail investigation of a single gene will yield insights into how much will be gained when analyzing so much data simultaneously. The main techniques needed for this project is sequence comparison, phylogeny reconstruction and annotation algorithms.
