PCR simulator
pcr_sim.m (M)
Replicate a certain number of starting copies of DNA for several cycles. Try different probabilities of replication to get different histograms showing how much DNA is produced over many trials.
pcr_sim.fig (FIG)
Put this in the same directory as pcr_sim.m to be able to run “pcr_sim” from the matlab prompt.
Random Walk - 2D with 2 Particles (M)
Look at how these simulations work and try making your own 3D random walk or have your particle trace out a trajectory in Matlab.
