Bioinformatics in Python is a collection of scripts, utilities, and projects for solving computational biology problems. The repository includes implementations of DNA/RNA sequence analysis, structural modeling, and algorithmic solutions to classical bioinformatics challenges (e.g., Rosalind problems). It serves as both a learning resource and a toolkit for applying Python to biological data.
The primary goals of this repository are:
- To practice and document solutions to classical bioinformatics problems (e.g., Rosalind challenges).
- To provide reusable Python scripts for DNA/RNA sequence manipulation and analysis.
- To serve as a learning reference for those interested in applying Python to biological datasets.
-
DNA & RNA sequence analysis
- Counting nucleotides
- Transcription and translation
- Reverse complements
-
Algorithmic problem-solving
- Implementations inspired by Rosalind problems
- Solutions that emphasize clarity and efficiency
-
Structural bioinformatics (in progress)
- Protein structure parsing and analysis
- Modeling biological macromolecules
This repository also includes solutions to Rosalind.info problems, which are widely used for learning bioinformatics through programming.
- Complementing a DNA strand
- Counting nucleotides
- Transcribing DNA to RNA
(More problems will be added as progress continues)
