Coding problems

During the event we will be solving a set of problems with a particular focus on computational biology. The following exercises will cover algorithmic design and automated data analysis tasks.

These problems will test your algorithmic thinking for which coding solutions can be easily tested.

1. Counting DNA Nucleotides

Count the number nucleotides from a given DNA sequence.

2. Calculating Protein Mass

Calculate protein mass from a given protein sequence.

3. Finding a Motif in DNA

Find a specific motif within a DNA sequence.

4. Rabbits and Recurrence Relations

How many rabbits there are?
