Solutions

I've written the solutions to these programs using functions, similarly to how we did in lecture on Friday, July 21. The comments in the program are written in such a way that they assume that you've read the programs in the order that they're presented here; in other words, the comments in Version 2 of Program 2 assume that you've read the comments in both versions of Program 1 and in the first version of Program 2.

• Program 1: Finding candidate genes on the given strand of DNA sequences
  • Version 1: Reads DNA sequences typed in by the user
  • Version 2: Reads DNA sequences from an AlexDNA file
• Program 2: Finding candidate genes on the given and reverse strands of DNA sequences
  • Version 1: Reads DNA sequences typed in by the user
  • Version 2: Reads DNA sequences from an AlexDNA file
• Program 3: Finding candidate genes on the given and reverse strands of DNA sequences, including the amino acid translation of each
  • Version 1: Reads DNA sequences typed in by the user
  • Version 2: Reads DNA sequences from an AlexDNA file

Also, I've provided a fixed version of the AlexDNA file from Lab 4:

• Fixed version of alexdna.txt
