From Python To Rust Series
From Python to Rust: Part 1.
In this series of articles, we will explore a young and very exciting programming language — Rust. We will see how Rust can help us to speed up some of our existing and future Python code. Many agree, that the key features of Python are its simplicity and readability. Let’s Read more…

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…
