The purpose of the project was to demonstrate the use of programming in solving a molecular Biology problem. We were asked to write a program that creates all objects involved in DNA transcription and translation and make the program accomplishes the task of transcription and translation of long strands of DNA.

​

This problem resembled the Human Genome Project accomplished in 2003 with the aid of writing program to model central dogma. In Human Genome Project problem’s definition was obvious, the solution to the problem was clear but the way to approach it was not clear. The solution to this problem might have taken decades and even centuries to complete. In this case, programming a relevant code reduced the time for solving problem to three years considering the fact that human errors are much greater than computers.

​

This project familiarized us to the speck of this project. In this project, I learned that computers are able to efficiently solve the problems that take time(iterative) and need high accuracy whether the problem is related to the field of Biology, Physics, Chemistry and other real world problems.
