Hi all. I am a community college student in Arizona and I'm enrolled in an introductory level bioinformatics course. As part of the requirements, I need to submit a course project of my own choosing/design. I am very interested in looking at the BRCA1, BRCA2, and Errb2/neu genes for evolutionary similarity and I would like to create a heatmap. Would this be possible? Would the data be available from NCBI or GenBank? Wouldn't the sequence data on these databases be "general" (an aggregate)? Any suggestions on how I could proceed would be most appreciated. Thanks, ~Caitlin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Caitlin, Do you mean across species or the similarity between the 3 teens in humans? Best wishes, Rich Richard A.
