For the final project, you will use the gene you identified in the gene annotation project and the protein used in protein annotation project to:
Identify the diseases implicated by your gene: genomic features at the gene level. i.e SNPs
Identify the diseases implicated at protein level: mutations at protein and structural levels: could include variations in amino acid, motifs, functions etc.
Select one disease either at the gene or protein level and provide more detailed discussion on:
Briefly explain the disease mechanism as it relates to the gene/protein
The bioinformatics approaches used to identify the specific genomic features implicated
Identify and discuss the bioinformatics and data analysis tools to identify the implicated genomic features the disease.
Discuss the drug targets identified if any implicated pathway
