Library/Life Sciences Undergraduate Poster Competition 2024
Introduction
• New genes are commonly found by randomly inducing mutations in model organisms.
• Mapping the mutations to the genome to find novel genes is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive.
• We created a bioinformatics program, MMAPPR, to automate this process.
• Here, we introduce a new algorithm, MMAPPR2, which requires little to no bioinformatics knowledge to use.
• MMAPPR2 makes several improvements that allow it to identify genes more rapidly and precisely.
• MMAPPR2 will aid the rapid identification of genes in a wide range of species and developmental systems.
