Project 1: Fun with DNA (REGEX Lookaround)!

Explore how to apply Python regular expressions with lookaround assertions to detect start and stop codons in DNA sequences. Understand how to find overlapping open reading frames (ORFs) without consuming them, enhancing your skills in practical biological data parsing.

We'll cover the following...

DNA is a sequence of bases, A, C, G, or T. They are translated into proteins 3-bases where each sequence is called a codon. There is a special start codon ATG, and ...
