Hi Chiki! You can put the lecture notes you make at 101 Lectures. --ASW 19:26, 25 October 2005 (EDT)

A couple of questions:

1) I wrote my code as a Word Document, but don't know how to make it into a Perl document. Can someone post instructions on how to do this?

2) I can't find an accessible version of the Perl index we were using in class today. I couldn't find anything on the Perl.com website which did not require to be purchase it.

3) Is it possible to define a variable as a character - like what I did below for my $var?

sub log # Length of sequence; does this need to be a subroutine?? { my $counter=0; my $var= ‘n’; #define var as a variable containing a character

while (<FILE>) { $counter ++; print “The length of the sequence is:� , $counter, “/n�; }

4) My computer give me an error when I try to download genome from the link Shawn posted because it my computer doesn't have the porgram needed to open the file. Which program do I need, and where can I download it?

Thanks!! --Chiki
