basebits
A library for memory efficient short DNA sequence encoding.
Synopsis
When to use this library? If you are comparing strings against each other more than 4 times, it becomes more efficient to pay the cost of encoding them.
Operations
Constant time hamming distance calculations.
Example
use basebits::{BaseBits, hamming_dist};
fn main() {
let string1 = b"ACTGACTG";
let string2 = b"ACTTACTG";
let string1 = BaseBits::new(string1).unwrap();
let string2 = BaseBits::new(string2).unwrap();
assert_eq!(hamming_dist(&string1, &string2), 1);
}
