[BiO BB] which one is the "best" protein sequence when multiple entries ar e found?

[nikhil gadewal]

Hi,

  If u are looking for gene/protein seq from
particular organism source than go to 'map viewer' in
NCBI. In Map viewer gives a single gene entry for an
organsim. Single gene entry is derived for multiple
sequence of different seqs of same gene in a database.
Check for locus name of the gene. 

bye..
