Complement of a Strand

  • Shown in green: the following command is used to open the file (using prokaryote.txt as an example).
cat prokaryote.txt
  • Shown in red: the following command is used to sequence the complementary strand (in the 5' -> 3' direction - thus the "rev" command).
cat prokaryote.txt | sed "y/atgc/tacg/" | rev
  • Finally, the sequence of the complementary strand is (copy/pasted from the command line window):

Reading Frames

The original sequence in the prokaryote.txt file will be assumed to be the top strand for this exercise.
