Mastering Bioinformatics and Python with Rosalind - Solving DNA Analysis Problems

Lana Dominkovic via YouTube

Overview

Learn to solve six fundamental bioinformatics problems using Python in this educational video that walks through solutions from the Rosalind platform. Master practical programming techniques for DNA sequence analysis, including finding DNA motifs, calculating point mutations, computing GC content, counting nucleotides, transcribing DNA to RNA, and determining consensus sequences. Follow along with detailed code explanations and examples that demonstrate how to implement bioinformatics algorithms effectively. Access companion Jupyter notebooks on GitHub to practice the implementations while building a strong foundation in both Python programming and computational biology concepts.
