Round-Trip Tutorial 3: FASTA Sequences → Sequence Graphs → Reconstruction

This tutorial demonstrates the complete round-trip workflow for biological sequence analysis using Mycelia's BioSequence graph system. We'll work with DNA, RNA, and protein sequences, showing how to construct variable-length sequence graphs and reconstruct the original biological sequences with high fidelity.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this tutorial, you will:

  1. Construct BioSequence graphs from FASTA files containing biological sequences
  2. Understand the difference between BioSequence and string-based approaches
  3. Perform high-quality biological sequence reconstruction
  4. Validate reconstruction accuracy with biological sequence metrics
  5. Apply sequence graphs to real genomic assembly problems
  6. Compare performance across different biological alphabets (DNA, RNA, protein)
