Introduction
This lab should be done in conjunction with Lab 7 dealing with DNA sequence logos. Please refer to the introduction section of Lab 7 for more information on sequence logos.
Play sequences
We are going to use the following sequences in this lab, but feel free to use your own sequences
CCCATTGTTCTC TTTCTGGTTCTC TCAATTGTTTAG CTCATTGTTGTC TCCATTGTTCTC CCTATTGTTCTC TCCATTGTTCGT CCAATTGTTTTG
Logos on the Web
Berkeley Logo Generator
Point your browser to weblogo.berkeley.edu, which is one of the currently better logo generators on the Web.
Enter the 8 sequences of Lab 7 in the input window, and click on the Create button:
Compare the output to the one you obtained in Lab 7.
Technical University of Denmark Logo Generator
Another option is to point your browser to www.cbs.dtu.dk/~gorodkin/appl/plogo.html, and to enter the same eight sequences, as illustrated below:
Verify that you get the same logo as in the previous step.
You will notice that the logo output also gives the following results:
