Nucleotide Count
Given a DNA string, compute how many times each nucleotide occurs in the string.
DNA is represented by an alphabet of the following symbols: 'A', 'C', 'G', and 'T'.
Each symbol represents a nucleotide, which is a fancy name for the particular molecules that happen to make up a large part of DNA.
Shortest intro to biochemistry EVAR:
- twigs are to birds nests as
- nucleotides are to DNA and RNA as
- amino acids are to proteins as
- sugar is to starch as
- oh crap lipids
I'm not going to talk about lipids because they're crazy complex.
So back to nucleotides.
DNA contains four types of them: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine
(G), and thymine (T).
RNA contains a slightly different set of nucleotides, but we don't care about that for now.
