Functions

_generate_dimers

_sanitize()

remove non nucleotide characters from nucleotide sequences. remove non amino acid characters from peptide sequences. return sanitized strand and list of bad characters.

_count()

takes a nucleotide sequence and returns a base count. Looks for total length, purines, pyrimidines, and degenerate bases. If degenerate bases are present assumes their substitution for non degenerate bases is totally random for percentage estimation.

in: nucleotide sequence (string),
out: base count (hash)

_gcwindows()

takes a nucleotide sequence, a window size, and minimum and maximum values. returns lists of real coordinates of subsequences that violate mimimum or maximum GC percentages.

Values are returned inside an array reference such that the first value is an array ref of minimum violators (as array refs of left/right coordinates), and the second value is an array ref of maximum violators.

$return_value = [ [[left, right], [left, right]], #minimum violators [[left, right], [left, right]] #maximum violators ];

_melt()

takes a nucleotide sequence and returns a melting temperature

in: nucleotide sequence (string)
    salt concentration (string, opt, def =.05),
    oligo concentration (string, opt, def = .0000001)
out: temperature (float)

_ntherm()

takes a nucleotide sequence and returns a nearest neighbor melting temp.

in: nucleotide sequence (string)
out: temperature (float)

_complement()

takes a nucleotide sequence and returns its complement or reverse complement.

in: nucleotide sequence (string),
    switch for reverse complement (1 or null)
out: nucleotide sequence (string)

_toRNA()

_regres()

takes a sequence that may be degenerate and returns a string that is prepped for use in a regular expression.

in: sequence (string),
    switch for aa or nt sequence (1 or null)
out: regexp string (string)

regarr()

_positions()

_find_runs

_is_ambiguous

_compare_sequences()

takes two nucleotide sequences that are assumed to be perfectly aligned and roughly equivalent and returns similarity metrics. should be twweeaakkeedd

in: 2x nucleotide sequence (string)
out: similarity metrics (hash)

_amb_transcription

_add_arr

Basically builds a list of tree nodes for the amb_trans* functions. in: 2 x peptide lists (array reference) out: combined list of peptides
