Bioinformatics

Welcome to the bioinformatics project! This repository contains a collection of implementations of widely used algorithms in the field of bioinformatics. Bioinformatics is a discipline that combines biology, computer science, and mathematics to analyze and understand biological data, such as DNA sequences, proteins, and other biological elements.

Objective

The main objective of this project is to provide a collection of essential algorithms in bioinformatics that help researchers and professionals efficiently and accurately analyze and manipulate biological data. Each algorithm will be implemented in a specific programming language and will be properly documented to facilitate its understanding and usage.

Included Algorithms

The repository will contain a variety of algorithms spanning different areas of bioinformatics. Some of the algorithms you can find are:

1. Sequence Alignment Algorithms: Including global alignment, local alignment, heuristic search algorithms such as blast, and multiple sequence alignment.

2. Pattern Search Algorithms: To find specific sequences within larger datasets, such as the subsequence search algorithm.

3. Genome Assembly Algorithms: To reconstruct genomic sequences from fragments.

4. Protein Structure Prediction Algorithms: To predict the three-dimensional structure of proteins from their amino acid sequence.

5. Classification and Clustering Algorithms: To cluster related sequences or proteins into families.

6. Gene Expression Analysis Algorithms: To analyze and visualize gene expression data.

Repository Structure

The repository will be organized as follows:

/
|-- algorithm_1/
|   |-- code.py
|   |-- README.md
|
|-- algorithm_2/
|   |-- code.py
|   |-- README.md
|
|-- ...
|
|-- README.md

Each algorithm will have its own directory, which will contain the source code implemented in the corresponding programming language (e.g., Python, Java, C++, etc.) and a README.md file that will provide a detailed explanation of the algorithm, its functioning, complexity, and any other relevant information.
