DNA Sequence Assembly Project

The DNA Assembly project is a Java-based application designed for assembling DNA sequences. This application simulates the process of assembling short DNA fragments into a complete sequence, a common task in bioinformatics and genomics.

Project Structure

Assembler.java: Contains the main logic for assembling DNA fragments. This class likely includes algorithms for sequence alignment and assembly. Author.java: Provides information about the authors or contributors of the project. Fragment.java: Defines a class representing a DNA fragment. This class may include attributes and methods relevant to a single DNA fragment. FragmentTest.java: Contains unit tests for the Fragment class, ensuring the correctness and reliability of its functionalities. AssemblerTest.java: Includes unit tests for the Assembler class, testing the DNA assembly logic and algorithms.

Functionality

DNA Fragment Representation: The Fragment class models individual DNA fragments, including their sequences and possibly other genomic data. Assembly Algorithm: The Assembler class implements an algorithm to piece together these fragments into a full DNA sequence. Testing and Validation: The Test classes ensure the reliability and accuracy of both the individual DNA fragments and the assembly process.

How to Set Up Clone the repository to your local machine. Ensure you have Java installed on your system. Open the project using a Java-compatible IDE.

How to Run Navigate to Assembler.java to run the main assembly process. To execute tests, run the test cases in FragmentTest.java and AssemblerTest.java using a Java testing framework.
