    <p>This is one of those questions where I stumbled upon the right answer, but I don't understand why it's the right one and Wikipedia didn't help. For Rosalind, I wrote a simple script for getting the number of all the possible RNA sequences from a protein string (modulo 1,000,000). I know it's not the most efficient possible code (partly because I recycle bits from previous things I've made), but here it is:</p> <pre><code>protein = """&lt;large protein string&gt;""" protein = ''.join(protein.split('\n')) translate = {'UUU' : 'F','CUU' : 'L','AUU' : 'I','GUU' : 'V','UUC' : 'F','CUC' : 'L','AUC' : 'I','GUC' : 'V','UUA' : 'L','CUA' : 'L','AUA' : 'I','GUA' : 'V','UUG' : 'L','CUG' : 'L','AUG' : 'M','GUG' : 'V','UCU' : 'S','CCU' : 'P','ACU' : 'T','GCU' : 'A','UCC' : 'S','CCC' : 'P','ACC' : 'T','GCC' : 'A','UCA' : 'S','CCA' : 'P','ACA' : 'T','GCA' : 'A','UCG' : 'S','CCG' : 'P','ACG' : 'T','GCG' : 'A','UAU' : 'Y','CAU' : 'H','AAU' : 'N','GAU' : 'D','UAC' : 'Y','CAC' : 'H','AAC' : 'N','GAC' : 'D','UAA' : 'Stop','CAA' : 'Q','AAA' : 'K','GAA' : 'E','UAG' : 'Stop','CAG' : 'Q','AAG' : 'K','GAG' : 'E','UGU' : 'C','CGU' : 'R','AGU' : 'S','GGU' : 'G','UGC' : 'C','CGC' : 'R','AGC' : 'S', 'GGC' : 'G','UGA' : 'Stop','CGA' : 'R','AGA' : 'R','GGA' : 'G','UGG' : 'W','CGG' : 'R','AGG' : 'R','GGG' : 'G', } aminos = translate.values() sample = [l for l in protein] + ['Stop'] score = [] for s in sample: c = aminos.count(s) score.append(c) import math result = reduce(lambda x, y: x*y, score) % 1000000 print result </code></pre> <p>This computes the total number of RNA sequences and takes the modulo of the final result (or so I think). I got the wrong answer twice before I decided to try this:</p> <pre><code>import math result = reduce(lambda x, y: x*y % 1000000, score) print result </code></pre> <p>This apparently produced the correct answer. Why does a modulo have to be performed at every x*y? Am I not understanding modulo or am I not understanding Python?</p> <p>EDIT: Sorry, typo.</p>

    1. CO`score % 1000000` makes no sense. `score` is a list. That shouldn't work.

    3. COMathematically, these should be equivalent: `(a * b * c) % d`, `(((a * b) % d) * c) % d`

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
