Visualizing the distribution of **GC content** across a dataset of DNA sequences is a fundamental task in genome analysis. By examining the **GC content**, you can quickly identify sequences with unusually high or low GC percentages, which may indicate special biological functions or sequencing artifacts. In this challenge, you will practice both calculating GC content and presenting your results visually using a bar chart, a standard approach in biological data visualization.
