Staphylococcus aureus

This site is still under construction, and I am taking my time with it...

My Current CV

Brief description of the medical importance of Staphylococcus aureus

This page will be dedicated to Staphylococcus aureus. For starters I will just provide few links of interest that pertain to the research I have performed:

Bioinformatics Tools

• NCBI BLAST home page: Basic local alignment search tool
• ORF finder: Good tool to identify open reading frames in nucleic acid sequences.
• ClustalW: Clustalw multiple alignment.
• Transmembrane prediction: A host of tools to predict membrane spanning regions in protein sequences.
• The Institute for Genomic Research: A great soruce of genetic information for a wide variety of organisms.
• Genome sequencing of S. aureus strain NCTC 8325-4:Genetic information for a widely researched strain of S. aureus.
• NEBcutter: Restriction enzyme digestion tool.
• Entrez-Pubmed: Source of scientific literature.

Major Research Interests
