Module 2 - Sequences

In this module, we will use Python and the Biopython package to represent and analyse DNA sequences.

2.1 Setup today's exercises

In the exercises last week, Windows-users installed the Gitbash terminal application. Mac (and Linux) users already have a Terminal application installed in their systems.

Open your Terminal application (Gitbash for Windows users) and copy-paste the following:

cd ~/BIOS3010/
git clone https://github.com/BIOS3010/Module-2-sequences.git
cd Module-2-sequences

This will go to the directory we created last week (BIOS3010). The git clone command downloads the exercises for today, and then we enter the directory called Module-2-sequences
