Project Description for Computational Biology
Explore computational biology by learning to analyze DNA and protein sequences through practical coding projects. Understand how to identify gene mutations, detect viruses, and validate proteins using algorithms. This lesson prepares you to implement solutions to biological problems, enhancing your coding interview skills with real-world applications.
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 ...
