Reverse and complement nucleic acid sequences (DNA, RNA) using Python
Offered By: Coursera Project Network via Coursera
Course Description
Overview
In this 1-hour long project-based course, you will learn the basic building blocks in the Python language and how to Develop a Python program that constructs reverse, complement, and reverse-complement nucleic acid sequences (DNA, RNA). Also, you will make your code read a file that has a long DNA sequence and deal with one of the complete genomes for the novel coronavirus.
Syllabus
- Reverse and complement nucleic acid sequences (DNA, RNA) using Python
- Welcome to Reverse and complement nucleic acid sequences (DNA, RNA) using Python Project! You’re joining thousands of learners currently enrolled in the Rhyme guided project program. I'm excited to have you in the class and look forward to your contributions to the learning community. To begin, I recommend taking a few minutes to explore the course site. Review the material we’ll cover during the project, and preview the assignments you’ll need to complete to pass the course. Click Discussions to see forums where you can discuss the course material with fellow students taking the class. By the end of this project, you will create a Python program that constructs reverse, complement, and reverse-complement nucleic acid sequences (DNA, RNA) using Spyder Pythoon. Finally you will learn how to read a file that has a long DNA sequence and then apply the code to the data in the file. We will use the novel coronavirus genome for this. Along the way, you will learn the basic building blocks in the Python language. If you have questions about course content, please post them in the forums to get help from others in the course community. For technical problems with the Coursera platform, visit the Learner Help Center. Good luck as you get started and I hope you enjoy the course!
