hw problem. Any help is greatly appreciated

... in DNA. If you think how it happens, you will realize that knowing the proportion of one of the base, allow you to calculate the proportion of the complementary base X=Y and the proportions of the other 2 Z=W= (100%-(X+Y))/2

DNA self-complementarity software

By self-complementarity, do you just mean the sequence and its reverse complement are the same? If so, there are plenty of reverse complementary sequence out there, and then you just need to compare the two strings to see if they're the same...

Uses for the PCR technique?

... a nice explanation of the technique: For plasmid manipulations, this technique has largely been supplanted by a PCR-like technique where a pair of complementary mutagenic primers is used to amplify the entire plasmid. This generates a nicked, circular DNA which can undergo repair by endogenous ...
