When you're just starting out with biological programming, it's easy to run into complex problems that make you wonder how anyone has ever managed to write a program.
github.com - It is designed to work with patterned data. Famous examples of problems related to patterned data are:
recovering signals in networks after a stimulation (cascade network reverse engineering),
analysing periodic signals.
