[E]
Identify T. Rex's closest living relative by using simple bioinformatics tools.
[E]
Use a computer program on the Web to compare a DNA sequence from several human genes with the corresponding genes in other animals. This will allow us to infer how closely related we are to those animals.
[E]
Compare a protein's amino acid sequence in a couple of animals to infer how closely related they are to one another.
