Problem Set 1 (PDF) The .fna file below contains the nucleic acid sequence of E. coli in the FASTA format. A sequence in FASTA format begins with a single-line description, followed by lines of sequence data. The description line is distinguished from the sequence data by a greater-than (">") symbol in the first column. (FNA - 4.5 MB)
Problem Set 2 (PDF) Article by Altschul et al on BLAST
Problem Set 3 (PDF) The .fna file below contains the nucleic acid sequence of E. coli in the FASTA format. A sequence in FASTA format begins with a single-line description, followed by lines of sequence data.
