Hort 503: Bioinformatics for Research Exercise I The information for the set-up of living organisms is stored in the sequences of nucleotides in DNA. DNA serves two purposes: to provide the information during the life cycle of a cell and to pass it on to offspring. The discovery of genes and the genetic code triggered the hope to be able to read the information stored in our genes, and today we are able to do so: massive progress in sequencing technology has delivered entire genomes to the tips of our fingers. The era of genomics and proteomics has opened up the opportunity to go beyond the
