How great it is to solve DNA and protein structure

Hi, I have read some books about DNA sequencing and protein structure prediction recently. I have figured out that there are abundant of databases on the Internet where we can actually use it on free.

To search for a profile or anything about your interested gene or protein, NCBI is the best site you should look for.

For pair-wise sequence alignment, BLAST is the best and it can be accessed by many of the websites out there.

For multiple sequence alignment, there are ClustalW and Tcoffee.

After doing multiple sequence alignment, we can do the protein structure prediction and even figure out the phylogenetic tree of the sequences that we are comparing...

It is very exciting to have so many free tools on DNA sequencing and Protein structure prediction. I guess. But I am really don`t know how frequent it is a scientist will use all of the services I mention above. Is it very popular to use web application and databases to do research on DNA sequencing?

Usage of those sites is extremely common among researchers. I myself have used those sites dozens, if not hundreds, of times, and I'm on the low end of the spectrum of users.

I have used the sites about thousand times and also successfully published some papers
you can go to theses sites to read my papers based on the research I did on bioinformatics
In fact i published an article called
Data mining publicly available genomic database for discovery of genes functionally similar to Jatropha curcas beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase involved in theoestrification in Jatropha seed oil was presented in national Symposium on Agroforestry for livelihood security, Environmental protection and biofuel production held At NRCAF Jhansi 16-18th Dec 2006
I have since got more than 30 reprint requests for this although I must say that biofuel was topic of interest of most researchers who requested it
another of my paper is as follows
Expression of metallothionein 3 (MT3) like protein mRNA in Sorghum cultivars under chromium (VI) stress. Current Science, 86 (7) 901-902.
you can get a copy of that from my site
your comments are welcome
