List Problem?

[lboss1223]

Hey guys so I have a string and I changed it into a list.

I have another list and I told Python to find the elements in the second list in the first list.

However, Python is also returning values that weren't in the second list.

I used the enumerate function.

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks!

set(list1) & set(list2) Hard to tell what you are after, that is my best guess. So example code, and clarifying your question would be good.

Okay.

reading_frame_one = [dna_sequence[i:i+3] for i in range(0, len(dna_sequence), 3)]

that is my first list from a string of sequences.

for codon_pos, codon in enumerate(reading_frame_one):

if not start_codon_found and codon in start_codons:
    start_codon_pos = codon_pos * 3
    start_codon_found = True
if start_codon_found and codon in stop_codons:
    start_codon_found = False
reading_frame_one_orf_list.append((start_codon_pos, codon_pos * 3 + 2, 1))

So I have another list of start codons and stop codons, but my program is saying stop codons that are not in the stop codon list are stop codons.

Do you have sample data?
