BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) is specifically designed for comparing sequences of newly identified proteins with the already stored sequences in the GenBank database. LINES refer to Long Interspersed Nuclear Elements, a type of repetitive sequence found in eukaryotic genomes. HATs (Histone Acetyltransferases) are enzymes that modify histones to regulate gene expression. 3C (Chromosome Conformation Capture) is a technique used to analyze the 3D structure of chromosomes.
