ROSALIND Series #02 - DNA to RNA + Reverse Complement

Introduction Welcome to the second entry in the ROSALIND problem series! Today we will be solving two problems: transcribing DNA to RNA and taking the reverse complement of a DNA sequence. This will let us learn some basics of efficient string manipulation in Go. As always, solutions are in the associated GitHub repo. Problem 1: Transcribing DNA into RNA Transcription is a core biological process which allows genetic information stored in double-stranded DNA to be copied into single-stranded RNA....

ROSALIND Series #01 - Intro + Counting DNA Nucleotides

Introduction Lately I’ve found myself with far too much time on my hands and the need to pick up a new better hobby. What better to do than blog! In this series, we’ll be working through problems from rosalind.info, a collection of bioinformatics practice problems. For no reason in particular other than a recent obsession with the language gained during my time as an intern at Google, we will be solving these problems in Go....
