KP Ramirez Week 4
come up with a question to email about what you felt should be asked in this paper?
I began by loading up the Markham paper from PubMed then clicking on the nucleotides links. From there I could access GenBank. I noted that the links seemed to be invalid however I was able to access them through a different browser.

• Download several (4 to 6) sequences in FASTA format to your local hard drive by selecting several at the same time in the summary view so they are saved into a single text file. Be careful to remember where you put the file and what you name it so that you can find it later.
- Completed
• Open the file that you saved with a word processor to confirm that you have the sequences and that they are in the FASTA format. In the FASTA format each sequence is preceeded by a label which begins with the greater than sign (>).
