* Biology Meets Programming: Bioinformatics for Beginners
** Week 1
*** DNA replication
**** Origin of replication (ori)
Locating an ori is key for gene therapy (e.g. viral vectors), to introduce a theraupetic gene.
**** Exercise: computational approach to find ori in bacteria
We'll look for the *DnaA box* sequence, using a sliding window, in that case our code would be the following:
#+begin_src python
count = 0
for i in range(len(Text)-len(Pattern)+1):
if Text[i:i+len(Pattern)] == Pattern:
count = count+1
print(Pattern + ": " + count)
#+end_src
*** Vocabulary
- k-mer: subsquences of length /k/ in a biological sequence
