Rosalind Problem Solving in Python: Episode 3 - Proteins and Splicing

Join Phillip Compeau, Carnegie Mellon professor and Rosalind co-founder, for a Python live problem-solving session on Rosalind — a platform for learning bioinformatics through coding. In Episode 3, we look at problems dealing with proteins and splicing. 00:00 Start screen 05:21 Stream starts: setup 14:36 MRNA: Inferring mRNA from Protein 35:28 PRTM: Calculating Protein Masses 47:23 ORF: Open Reading Frames 1:13:17 Fixing a bug in our translate function 1:25:36 MPRT: Finding a Protein Motif 1:35:26 SPLC: RNA Splicing 1:50:27 REVP: Locating Restriction Sites 2:04:02 Looking ahead, and happy coding!
