ad 0 Without programming (e.g., on a piece of paper), find the optimal local alignment of sequences CCCGTGTAA and GTATA, with the following parameters: gap penalty -1, mismatch -2, match 1. What is the score of this alignment? # GTA # GTA # - or - # GTA-A # GTATA ad 1 basic usage where we set the properties looks like: Align.PairwiseAligner(match_score=1, mismatch_score=-2, gap_score=-1, mode='local') and then after alignment of "CCCGTGTAA" & "GTATA" we get: target 5 GTA 8 0 ||| 3 query 0 GTA 3 ad 2 histones_dict = SeqIO.to_dict(SeqIO.parse("histones.fa", "fasta"))
