We would like to align two DNA sequences: (v) C G A T A C T, and (w) G A T T C G T :

i) s(i, j) = 1.5 if vi = wj (matches);

ii) s(i, j) = -1.0 if vi != wj (mismatches);

iii) d = 0.25 (indels: insertions or deletions).

What would be the maximum alignment score? Explain how you get the result.

For simplicity, you can consider DNA sequences as strings in the alphabet of {A, C, G, T}. Implement a special hash table to store all short DNA segments of certain length (e.g., 20) found in a long DNA sequence. Every DNA segment is stored as a (key, value) pair, where the key is the sequence of the segment, and the value is the position of the segment in the DNA. For example given a DNA sequence of ACGTACGTTT, there are...

A DNA string is a sequence of the bases a, c, g, and t in any order, whose length is usually a multiple of three. In reality, it is not necessarily a multiple of three, but we will simplify it as such for discussion. For example, aacgtttgtaaccagaactgt is a DNA string with a length of 21 bases. Recall that a sequence of three consecutive letters is called a codon. Assuming the first codon starts at position 1, the codons are...

A DNA strand is represented by a string of the characters A, C, G, and T, each of which represents a nucleotide. Each nucleotide has its complement as indicated by this Ruby hash: NUCLEOTIDE_COMPLEMENT = { 'A' => 'T', 'T' => 'A', 'C' => 'G', 'G' => 'C' } The reverse-complement of a DNA string is a new string in which each nucleotide is replaced by its complement and the string is reversed. Reverse-complements are important in bioinformatics since a...
