CSC334 Lab4
Finding repeats in DNA sequences
In this lab you will work with a Proce55ing sketchbook to create a graphical representation of repeating sequences in DNA sequences. Finding repeating patterns, either adjacent to each other, as in tandom repeats, or long interspersed repeats yield important genetic information about a DNA sequence.
Methodology
- Copy and paste the program DNA_Repeats_start.pde in a new sketchbook which you should call DNA_Repeats.pde.
- Create the font needed for the program. Click on Tools, Create Font, and select Monaco, with a size of 12 points.
This will create the file Monaco-12.vlw in the data folder of your Processing sketchbook. If you cannot find the font Monaco on your computer, select a monospace font such as Prestige Elite, or Courier.
