Rosalind Problem Solving in Python: Episode 7 - RNA Secondary Structures

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 7, we explore problems related to RNA and secondary structures. 00:00 Start screen 04:29 Welcome! 10:16 PPER: Partial Permutations 20:58 PMCH: Perfect Matchings and RNA Secondary Structures 40:33 MMCH: Maximum Matchings and RNA Secondary Structures 57:39 CAT: Catalan Numbers and RNA Secondary Structures 1:42:46 MOTZ: Motzkin Numbers and RNA Secondary Structures 2:04:40 RNAS: Wobble Bonding and RNA Secondary Structures 2:17:27 Looking ahead 🫶 Starter code link: https://shorturl.at/8wPJK Completed code link: https://shorturl.at/9EWQ8 Problems covered: 🧬 Partial Permutations: https://rosalind.info/problems/pper/ 🧬 Perfect Matching and RNA Secondary Structures: https://rosalind.info/problems/pmch/ 🧬 Maximum Matchings and RNA Secondary Structures: http://rosalind.info/problems/mmch/ 🧬 Catalan Numbers and RNA Secondary Structures: https://rosalind.info/problems/cat/ 🧬 Motzkin Numbers and RNA Secondary Structures: https://rosalind.info/problems/motz/ 🧬 Wobble Bonding and RNA Secondary Structures: https://rosalind.info/problems/rnas/ New episodes stream Thursdays at 11:00 AM ET.
