-> Restriction enzyme program with SQL database.
The program involved use of Python-SQL to contruct database named 'DNA Sites' in which table 'Restriction enzyme' was created . The table has information about the restriction enzyme and their corresponding site of action. Python script was used to create the database . Another Python script was written to implement the program which connects database,user interface and real process. This Python script contained three functions
-
main() - It is the first function to be called. It contains code which is used by user to mention the input file and restriction enzyme. It also redirects to
-
DNA(enzyme,site) -This function contains the main program which takes enzyme and site as input. It also reads the input file, converts it to string and searches the site in the strings. It displays the position where the sites are present
-
Restriction db(enzyme) - This function is vital as it connects the database with rest of the program. This function takes an enzyme searches for it in database and extracts the cor- responding restriction site which is later used to search the sequence.
