COSC 348: Lab13

There are 3 options you can choose from to earn 1% of the final mark for this lab:

(1) Complete the previous lab on the model of a gene regulatory network. Submit the code you've developed and the results in a short report. However, you do not have to complete this if you find the option 2 or 3 more interesting.

(2) You can download a free program for 2D visualisation of genomes (needs Java) and produce some nice fractal images of chosen genomes or chromosomes or genes. Submit the most interesting ones in a short report saying which image corresponds to what.

(3) You can try to develop a similar code yourself. The description how to go about it can be found in this document on fractal representation of symbolic sequences . Submit the code you have developed plus some images if you manage to produce any.

Note: You can retrieve the DNA/RNA sequences for visualisation from the GenBank or you can use some RNA sequences from the first assignment.
