Hello everyone I am new in biotechnology. how can i find members of B gene family? I search it in Pfam but i can not find members of B gene family! and my second question is How can I know exactly what the features of members of B gene family have and what their domains and motifs are? Thank you in advance

what do you mean with " B gene family " , does not ring a bell I have to admit (not that I know all possible gene families by heart though)

How can I know exactly what the features of members of Ergosterol biosynthesis ERG4/ERG24 family have and what their domains and motifs are?

Thank you in advance

For example, I mentioned B gene family. What is the process of reaching members of a gene family?

[lieven.sterck]

In general terms: gene families can be queried in dedicated databases (depending on species there are several options: PLAZA, phytozome, Ensembl, ... )

You also build them yourself and then you'll need software/tool to do so, searching for 'gene family construction software' will give you several options.

One word: InterPro https://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/entry/InterPro/IPR001171/ For what it's worth, that is as close as it gets to exact.
