Abstract

A vast amount of DNA and protein sequence is now available and a plethora of programs have been developed to analyse the data. The bewildering variety of analyses that can be performed via the World-Wide Web can deter researchers from applying bioinformatics to augment their traditional genetic research. Focusing on the inherited eye diseases, this paper provides a guide to the appropriate software required for identification of candidate genes through to the detection and analysis of mutations.
