Taxonomy Databases - Exercise 1
    Browse to the Taxonomy database.
  1. Let's see if we find some information about our ancestors. Search for "neanderthalensis" as token set.
  2. Isn't the Neanderthal man extinct? How could they get a protein sequence?
  3. Which proteins did they sequence (tell us five) and what do they say about Osteocalcin compared to modern humans?
  4. Are there more sequences for extinct organisms?
  5. The Taxonomy database is a very useful database to download all available sequences for a given species. How many sequences are available for human?
