Project Description for Computational Biology
Learn to analyze DNA and protein sequences through computational biology projects. Understand how to detect gene mutations, identify viruses in DNA, and find protein patterns. This lesson prepares you to implement features like mutation detection and sequence comparison, essential for coding interviews focused on biology-based problems.
We'll cover the following...
Introduction
Since the discovery of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and Ribonucleic acid (RNA), computer science found lots of applications in biology. An entire field called Computational Biology exists to apply computer science to biology problems.
The scenario and the problems discussed in this chapter also relate to the DNA and protein sequences that are dealt within Computational Biology.
Statement
Assume you are a developer in a biology lab. You are tasked with creating simulations for DNA transformation of different species. The biology lab wants you to write a suite ...
