Abstract:
The Dual Organellar GenoMe Annotator (DOGMA) automates the annotation of organellar (plant chloroplast and animal mitochondrial) genomes. It is a Web-based package that allows the use of BLAST searches against a custom database, and conservation of basepairing in the secondary structure of animal mitochondrial tRNAs to identify and annotate genes. DOGMA provides a graphical user interface for viewing and editing annotations. Annotations are stored on our password-protected server to enable repeated sessions of working on the same genome. Finished annotations can be extracted for direct submission to GenBank.

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
