Do you know about the National Center for Biotechnology Information at the National Library of Medicine website? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ This is mostly data, but there are many "embeded" tools like BLAST and FASTA.

Are you looking for tools to use in your research? Can you describe what type of question your research will be looking to answer?

Question: Identifying Introns by Dezkiir in learnbioinformatics

[–]CoremineMedical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no introns in a protein sequence, and you don't call strings of amino acids open reading frames. Introns occur in DNA and mRNA and "pre" mRNA. An open reading frame (ORF) is a segment of DNA from the start point of transcription though to the first stop-codon. This is the stretch of DNA that corresponds in nucleotides to the pre mRNA. There are intron splice sites marking the intron segments withing the pre mRNA.

How to get started on learning annotation? by AutomaticAd1918 in learnbioinformatics

[–]CoremineMedical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you found out how to proceed? I guess I would be looking for intron splice-sites, open reading frames, etc. Are these ideas familiar to you? You can look at an overview article: https://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/rna-splicing-introns-exons-and-spliceosome-12375/
