Work your way through the \({\tt my\_scan}\) function. Trace through the execution of the algorithm using the ARR1 binding site and a short sequence three base pairs longer than it.
Points of Reflection
Our model is very simple. Name some of aspects of DNA-protein interactions that are not captured by our model.
What other aspects of gene regulation are not well modelled by our approach?
How could we improve our mdoel to better reflect the bioogical reality of transcription factors, binding sites and gene regulation in general?
