Pattern Analysis of Tandem Repeats in Nlrp1

الأصل · EN

Pattern analysis of tandem repeats in gene is an indispensable computational approach to the understanding of the gene expression and pathogenesis of diseases. This research applied a computational motif model and database techniques to study the distribution of tandem repeats in Nlrp1 gene, which is a critical gene to detect the invading pathogens in the immunologic mechanisms. The frequency of tandem repeats in Nlrp1 gene was studied for mono-, di-, tri-, and tetranucleotides. Mutations of Nlrp1 gene were analyzed to identify the insertion,deletion, and substitution of nucleotides. The results of this research provide a basis for future work in computational drug design and biomedical engineering in tackling diseases associated with immune system.
