DNA Toolkit Part 2: Transcription and Reverse Complement
Welcome back! Today we continue working on our DNA Toolkit project. In our last article, we created the first two functions: validate_seq and nucleotide_frequency. We are not going to change the file structure, though we will add two more functions and one data structure. The functions we add today will Read more…

DNA Toolkit: Introduction
This amazing video (bellow) from the ‘MITx Bio’ team introduces a viewer to the structure of the DNA molecule. While it is an amazing way to learn about DNA, you can do so much more than just understand how it is structured. You can use some very basic programming skills Read more…
