Bioinformatics

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.

Features

  • 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

Rosalind Problems

This repository also includes solutions to Rosalind.info problems, which are widely used for learning bioinformatics through programming.

Stronghold Section:

  • Complementing a DNA strand
  • Counting nucleotides
  • Transcribing DNA to RNA
    (More problems will be added as progress continues)
