Hey! From what I know/understand, there are both, DNA and RNA codon tables. You can use both: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_and_RNA_codon_tables In the later video, we do manage to find a protein sequence with the DNA codon table. One from the NCBI database.
Hello, thanks for this course about Bioinformatics. I noticed that only one strand from DNA is transcribed and translated, but I suppose your video with the both strands is only included in the function for additional information? Best!
Hey! Thanks. Glad to hear you find my videos useful. The reason I don't go in depth about basic Python functions like list.append() is that, like any other course or a book on a specific topic, you have to have prerequisites, and I do bring this up in my first (intro) video. So you have to be able to write code on a basic level (variables, loops, functions) in order to progress. So this is a Bioinformatics Programming series, not Learn Python series. I also link to and suggest the best videos on learning Python of which we have a lot on the internet. So there is no point in teaching Python again as this has been done so much and done well. Also, if someone still does not know, that .append() appends things to a list, they definitely should watch Python intro videos I suggest in my intro video and others too. So yeah... like every course, there are prerequisites, to make sure 1) course does not turn into 1000 videos 2) People do self-study (look up append() as en example) as this is a crucial skill to have. That said, when we come across less-known Python functions/methods (.maketrans() as an example), we do discuss them. But .count(), .append(), replace()... well this is the very basic stuff and methods/function names already describe their functionality.
Great tutorials, please keep up the good work!!
Thanks, will do!
brilliant your tutorials
I have one concern, We have to find the reading frames for RNA sequence not DNA sequence right?

great video, hope you will make new videos soon!
Thank you, I will

epic tutorials mate, would be helpful if you went over the definition of some functions. For example, appends, means to add to the list etc.
