*<code>sed "y/atcg/tagc/"</code> was found to replace all lowercase a's, t's, c's, and g's with t's, a's, g's, and c's respectively (in lines of text)

*<code>sed "y/atcg/tagc/"</code> was found to replace all lowercase a's, t's, c's, and g's with t's, a's, g's, and c's respectively (in lines of text); this command should allow me to find the complementary strand

*Using ''prokarote.txt'', the given nucleotide sequence, the complementary strand was found by using <code>cat prokaryote.txt | sed "y/atcg/tagc/"</code>

*Using ''prokarote.txt'', the given nucleotide sequence, the complementary strand was found by using <code>cat prokaryote.txt | sed "y/atcg/tagc/"</code>

*The given nucleotide sequence was:  

*The given nucleotide sequence was:  

*''genetic-code.sed'' was found to contain all of the sed replacement commands needed to convert any mRNA triplet to an amino acid

*''genetic-code.sed'' was found to contain all of the sed replacement commands needed to convert any mRNA triplet to an amino acid

*The large amount of sed replacement commands in ''genetic-code.sed'' made it apparent that linking them all together in one pipeline would be difficult and tedious. All of ''genetic-code.sed'', ideally, would be exploited in one command
