CACTUS: February 2017

Assalamulaikum wbt. and hi, we met again 😁

On 21 of February, we learnt about PROTEIN DATA BANK and NUCLEIC ACID DATA BANK. In this chapter, we got to know about NCBI which stands for National Centre for Biotechnology Information.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/

Through the link, we can search many things like PubMed for articles, GENE, BLAST and many more.

For additional info, we can use different tag to make the search easier. For example, to search article/book/journal that are written by specific author, we use [AU] tag. The other tags are:

Now, this is the main part. We are being taught on how to do gene search. Here is the tutorial of searching of F2!!!

1. Go to NCBI link and choose GENE database.

2. In the search box, type F2.

3. Choose one whatever that fits to your preference.

4. There will be the entire information about F2 gene. You can choose either FASTA or GENEBANK.

Notes : FASTA will show an arranged code while GENEBANK will show the code in a long chain arrangement.

5. To save the file, go to the send to which located at upper right of the page.

6. Choose file and create file. As easy as ABC.

To analyse the gene, we use Blast. Blast is located at the related site on the right side of the page.

The picture above shows the page of blast. We choose the protein Blast!

Choose whatever gene that you want to have the percentage of similarities. Then, click the Blast button!

There you go!

That is all what we have learnt. Hope it will help you guys in finding some gene search !

Till we meet again in next post😙😻

Assalamualaikum w.b.t,

This post is about our last lesson on 14 February 2017.

The topic that we learnt on that day was HyperText MarkUp Language or also known as HTML. HTML is used to design web pages. We also gained some basic ideas on how to create blog using HTML codes.

Here are some steps to create your own web page.

1) Open your notepad

2) Type the HTML code as shown in the picture below (noted that you can change the code to your own preference)

3) Save as cactus.html (noted that you can change the name but it must end with ".html")

4) Open the file that you have saved and tadaa ! the picture above is the result.

HTML BASIC EXAMPLES

The HTML document itself begins with <html> and ends with </html>

The visible part of the HTML document is between <body> and </body>

HTML ATTRIBUTES

Attributes provides additional information about an element.

For example :

The attributes are always specified in the start tag.

Other attributes are href attribute and also size attribute.

Href attribute is used in linking our own web page to the other websites while the size attribute is used for setting the image.

HTML HEADINGS

Headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags.

<h1> defines the most important heading. <h6> defines the least important heading.

H1 heading should be main heading followed by H2 heading then the less important H3 and so on.

HTML TABLE

There are two types of table: with border and without border.

Tables are defined with the <table> tag.

If the border for the table is not specified, it will be displayed without border.

A border can be added using the border attributes

Other than that, we have learnt one more thing about HTML which is the bulleted list.

There are three major things which are unordered lists, ordered lists and list items.

Unordered list, which means that the bullets are not ranked or numbered in any way, they’re all the same.

If you want your list to be ordered instead of unordered, it’s a simple matter of just substituting the <ul> elements with <ol>s, which of course stand for ordered lists.

List item, each one corresponding to a bullet.

BINARY CODE

Binary code which is in the form of digits of 1 and 0 is a system that represents the numbers, letters, images, sounds and others.

It is the secret code that only certain people know what is the messages behind the code.

Here is the way on how to convert the binary into decimal.

In order to convert back the decimal into binary code, we need to subtract the result of 94 with the decimal numbers that can be subtracted.

Here is the way.

Then, the numbers that can be subtracted must be under digit 1 and 0 for the numbers that cannot be subtracted.

The end of our lesson for this week!

That is all that we could share with you, have fun reading and if you have any questions just hit the comment button. Thank you !
