GENOME SEQUENCE ANALYSIS OF SOLANUM LYCOPERSICUM BY APPLYING SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT METHOD TO DETERMINE THE STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF AN ALIGNMENT

Sequencing the genome of the crop Solanum lycopersicum will also help to identify beneficial genes in other plant relative of the tomato such as potato, pepper. All of these crops are members of the solanaceae or nightshade family, one of the World most important vegetable plants families in term of both economic value and production volume. Developing better tomatoes will also contribute to the quest for global food security. As well as using this new genome information to develop a wide variety of beneficial traits, the(TGRD)the tomato genomic resources database is an online and interactive relational database developed using open sources software. The user-friendly interface for TRGD has been developed using java script and HTML to query and retrieve the data based on userneeds. In sequence alignment is a way of arranging the sequence of DNA, RNA, or protein to identify the functional structural or evolutionary relationship between the sequence. If two sequence is an alignment share a common ancestors, mismatches can be interpreted as a point mutation. Fasta format is a text based format for representing either nucleotide sequence or peptide sequence, in which nucleotide or amino acid are represented using single letter code. Sequence homology is a general term that indicates evolutionary relatedness among sequence. NCBI that provide a common data extraction platform for sequence analysis. sequence similarity is a substitution with similar chemical properties. The clutalw colored alignment also have the colour option in the output results. The colouring residue takes place according to the following physiochemical criteria(Red, blue, green, magenta, and grey colours).In addition to maintaining the gene bank nucleic acid, sequence database, Ncbi provide data retrieval system and computational resources for the analysis of gene bank data and variety of other biological data made available through Ncbi.
