Question

Which of the following is associated with bioinformatics

• A. NCBI
• B. SWISSPROT
• C. EMBL
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

Bioinformatics is the use of information technology for collecting and analyzing complex biological data such as genetic codes, protein sequences, etc. through databases.

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is a database that provides access to biomedical and genomic information.

SWISS-PROT is a protein sequence database. It provides a high level of annotation (such as the description of the function of a protein, its domains structure, post-translational modifications, variants, etc.), a minimal level of redundancy and high level of integration with other databases.

European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is a database for basic research in molecular biology. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
