Abstract
In this Chapter, we will apply what have been learned in the previous chapters to read the nucleotide sequences of a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic gene. The aim is to provide a simple guide for reading a gene sequence. Starting with a DNA sequence, one can extract a wealth of information on the architectural organization of the gene, including many of the features at the protein level. Both transcriptional and translation processes can be inferred by reading a gene sequence (Refer to previous chapters for basic concepts).
