I have repeatedly told p...I will answer it anyway. I have repeatedly told people that I am not a geneticist by education, but neither is Melba Ketchum or any of her coauthors. I do believe I am qualified to compare two strings of only four different letters (AGTC), which is all that I did. BLAST is easy to use, and has adequate help and a help desk. As I said in my book, if I were still teaching, I would have put an undergraduate honors student on this. Having taught quantum mechanics and thermodynamics on the college level, I think I can handle anything molecular biology throws at me. I also have two patents in databases. Nevertheless, I believe in "not shooting the messenger." Understand the arguments, do you your own sequence comparisons, present your results, then let's discuss any differences. That's how science works. hvhart@swbell.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160572672854924638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685777959873197091.post-31256079893524798342021-01-05T10:16:31.706-06:002021-01-05T10:16:31.706-06:00chemistry, chemical engineering.
