Nucleic Acid Sequence tools

This small library contains types and functions used for performing operations on DNA sequences. Its most fundamental type is the Nucleotide enum, representing a single DNA nucleotide. This library is general, and intended to be used by any program or library that uses DNA sequences.

It includes functions to convert between &[Nucleotide] to string and vice-versa, and convert to and from u8 integer representations. It includes functions to serialize and deserialize in a compact binary format, with 2 bits per nucleotide.

See the docs for details on data structures and functions available.

Utility functionality

• Sequence and nucleotide complements
• Sequence and nucleotide weight
• GC content

We may add alignment, sequence searches, and other utility features in the future.

Also includes restriction enzyme functionality basics.

This library is used by the PlasCAD plasmid editor.
