Sure, if you solve it, you can clone people… in Python. 
Another test that helped me to hunt down a bug in my logic was this one:
5
CAT
TAG
GTA
CATAGT
CATAGTA
Output: 7
General advice
If you suffer from not knowing which case exactly breaks your solution you can consider building a test case generator with reverse logic: generate a sequence with a random (but known) length, then grab random substrings from this full sequence and your test case is ready. Make sure your substrings cover the whole sequence though.
You can wrap this into a loop and feed generated cases to your main function (solution) to test if you evaluate correctly.
When it fails - you know what to debug.

Hello, I can’t figure out what to do to pass test 10 “example 3 (identical sequences) natural order”.
May I ask the help of the community please?
I checked the forum and no one seem to have encountered a problem with this test.
As the puzzle was created by CG, I have no idea what the validator looks like. You may want to check the general advice given in this thread, e.g. (just randomly chosen, so not limited to the two links below)

I finally triggerred manually the right input to get the bug out.
Hi CG! My score is 86% with to remaining tests to validate:
- test 7: Sequence included
- test 8: Sequence included, reverse order
I thought it was the same logic as test 4 (AGATTA - GAT) and test 5 (GAT - AGATTA) but it is not.
Can you please give me input/output example for these 2 tests?
Not really, do you have example of input/output?
I don’t know what needs to be done here compare to test 4 and 5
Sorry, I don’t have any example either. This puzzle was created by CG instead of the community, so I don’t have any access to the validators.
You may consider reading all the posts in this discussion and see whether other hints help you.
Yes check out genome assembly Sequence assembly - Wikipedia
When you sequence DNA, you get lots of small fragments of DNA that you have to string together to have a full sequence.
It’s a lot more complicated IRL (because of repeats, the fragments are a lot longer, you might have lots of reads mapping to the same place on the genome, etc) but i think this is a good analogy for what you’re actually doing
Hello,
I do not know if it is disjointed or not, but my code failed trying to parse this sequence:
HINT: instead of contain, use endwith…
CGT
GTAT
ATTCA
CCGTAT
TATCA

I have only failed in validation test 13 “Sequences included and disjointed”
what does that mean can i have the inputs for that test?
Only the CG staff know what that validator is. As to your question, you may search and refer to the previous discussion above, as some players gave suggestions and hints regarding that validator.
Ok i have found the problem
Thanks.
Hi,
I’m stucked at “Sequences included and disjointed”. I don’t understand what to do with this test. I can’t get a clue of the test case to highlight my code issue.
I already tested all sequences that have been posted here.
I covered A contains fully B, B contains fully A, A ends with B (partially ), B starts with A (partially )
@Doc415 ,
As you found the issue on your side, could you share a sample of sequence to hightlight the issue? thanks,
I am on a trip now and i dont have a computer with me. As far as i can remember i added two conditions to solve it. The solution should include
A starts with B or
B starts with A
A ends with B or B ends with A
Both should also be checked
This is all i can remember. If that is not enough, i would like to help when i go back home in few weeks. Good luck
@Doc415 Thanks for the reply.
I will wait until you are back if no one can help in the mean time.
Your test cases are covered by mine. I will see if I can get more tips 
I don’t know if this has been reported yet: I fail one of the tests (AACTT) but I still get 100% of the validators…
I know why but it’s hard to explain (and I’m not a native english speaker), so here is my code in PHP:
[Mod edit: please don’t post full code in the forum]
For most of the time, tests and validators are different. It’s entirely possible that your code passes all the validators while failing one of the tests.
