• Notes: Making a model of DNA sequences
• Program: Hamlet.pl - Constructs Markov model... same as Monday's only better
• Data: S6803-training-set.nt - data for derivative of Hamlet.pl
• Program: FastA_module.pm - Utility module to read FastA-formatted files
• Program: Display_hash.pl - program to display the model (same as Monday's)

Before coming to the session
