Genome signatures reveal the importance of context dependent codon bias in a range of bacterial genomes.

摘要

Advance in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) has made the understanding of science a global necessity. Science and technology has touched every facet of human life. From computerized cars, and homes to advances in health and medicine. Understanding science, known as science literacy, is important for the American people to remain globally competitive. It is also important to be knowledgeable about science issues that affect their lives such as global warming, novel therapies for health, and medicine. How does this happen? Scientifically literate people are a result of an educational system that has produced them. According to the National Science Foundation students with science backgrounds are in great demand. This project is an example of the level of expertise that can be achieved by enhancing K-16 education. The Bioinformatics project on genome signatures shows a model of how bacterial genomes. Genome signatures of four nucleotide words were used to identify the distribution, magnitude and nucleotide contextual patterns. Genome signatures are an invaluable tool for understanding the evolution of bacterial genomes. The very essence of this project is the synthesis of scholarship and teaching.
