Project Description for Computational Biology
Explore how to apply coding skills to computational biology by simulating DNA transformations and analyzing protein sequences. Learn to solve problems like detecting gene mutations, identifying viral infections in chromosomes, and validating protein structures. This lesson helps you design solutions relevant to biology software and prepare for related coding interview questions.
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 ...
