Project Description for Computational Biology
Explore computational biology problems focused on DNA and protein sequence analysis. Learn to design solutions for tasks like gene replacement, virus detection, palindrome identification, mutation analysis, and sequence comparison. This lesson prepares you to apply computer science concepts to biological data, building skills useful in coding interviews.
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 ...
