Live-coding

As always, before you do anything else, create a week3 directory in your qbb2023-answers directory for this assignment, and create a README.md file in that week3 directory. This is where you will be putting and uploading all of your code/plots/etc. for this assignment.

We would recommend creating a livecoding directory within your week3 directory, and putting your live-coding scripts there. You can add the livecoding directory to your .gitignore so that git won’t track these files.

Wherever you choose to do your live-coding, you can download the following two files:

  1. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bxlab/cmdb-quantbio/main/assignments/lab/alignment/livecoding_resources/needleman-wunsch_livecoding_empty.py
  2. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bxlab/cmdb-quantbio/main/assignments/lab/alignment/livecoding_resources/needleman-wunsch_livecoding_master.py

The first contains just the prompts for the live-coding exercises. The second file contains the actual code itself, in case you get lost or want to look back at the live-coding during the homework.
