INI — Introduction to the Bioinformatics Armory

solved Problem statement

GBK — GenBank Introduction

solved Problem statement

Calls NCBI, so it needs a network connection and its answer can change over time.

Entrez record counts grow as GenBank is updated, so no fixed answer can be asserted.

FRMT — Data Formats

solved Problem statement

Calls NCBI, so it needs a network connection and its answer can change over time.

MEME — New Motif Discovery

partial Problem statement

Partial: no probabilistic motif discovery; finds exact shared substrings instead of a MEME position-weight motif.

NEED — Pairwise Global Alignment

solved Problem statement

Calls NCBI, so it needs a network connection and its answer can change over time.

Reproduces the EMBOSS Needle score of 257 using align() with affine gaps (match 5, mismatch -4, gap_open -9, gap_extend -1). Asserted, but excluded from the hermetic CI gate because it fetches from NCBI.

TFSQ — FASTQ format introduction

solved Problem statement

PHRE — Read Quality Distribution

solved Problem statement

PTRA — Protein Translation

solved Problem statement

FILT — Read Filtration by Quality

solved Problem statement

RVCO — Complementing a Strand of DNA

solved Problem statement

SUBO — Suboptimal Local Alignment

solved Problem statement

Brute-force O(n^3) window scan; ~25 s. A motif-index approach would be the natural follow-up.

BPHR — Base Quality Distribution

solved Problem statement

CLUS — Global Multiple Alignment

solved Problem statement

ORFR — Finding Genes with ORFs

solved Problem statement

BFIL — Base Filtration by Quality
