Detailed Description

The four letter DNA alphabet of A,C,G,T.

Note that you can assign 'U' as a character to dna4 and it will silently be converted to 'T'.

Like most alphabets, this alphabet cannot be initialised directly from its character representation. Instead initialise/assign from the character literal or use the function seqan3::dna4::assign_char().

int main()
{
using seqan3::operator""_dna4;
seqan3::dna4 my_letter{'A'_dna4};
my_letter.assign_char('C');
my_letter.assign_char('F'); // unknown characters are implicitly converted to A.
if (my_letter.to_char() == 'A')
seqan3::debug_stream << "yeah\n"; // "yeah";
}

Member Function Documentation

◆ assign_char()

constexpr dna4 & seqan3::alphabet_base< dna4 , size, char >::assign_char ( char_type const  c)
inlineconstexprnoexceptinherited

Assign from a character, implicitly converts invalid characters.

Parameters
cThe character to be assigned.

Provides an implementation for seqan3::assign_char_to, required to model seqan3::alphabet.

Complexity

Constant.

Exceptions

Guaranteed not to throw.

◆ assign_rank()

constexpr dna4 & seqan3::alphabet_base< dna4 , size, char >::assign_rank ( rank_type const  c)
inlineconstexprnoexceptinherited

Assign from a numeric value.

Parameters
cThe rank to be assigned.

Provides an implementation for seqan3::assign_rank_to, required to model seqan3::semialphabet.

Complexity

Constant.

Exceptions

Guaranteed not to throw.

◆ char_is_valid()

static constexpr bool seqan3::nucleotide_base< dna4 , size >::char_is_valid ( char_type const  c)
inlinestaticconstexprnoexceptinherited

Validate whether a character value has a one-to-one mapping to an alphabet value.

Satisfies the seqan3::semialphabet::char_is_valid_for() requirement via the seqan3::char_is_valid_for() wrapper.

Behaviour specific to nucleotides: True also for lower case letters that silently convert to their upper case and true also for U/T respectively, e.g. 'U' is a valid character for seqan3::dna4, because its informational content is identical to 'T'.

Complexity

Constant.

Exceptions

Guaranteed not to throw.

◆ complement()

constexpr dna4 seqan3::nucleotide_base< dna4 , size >::complement ( ) const
inlineconstexprnoexceptinherited

Return the complement of the letter.

See Nucleotide for the actual values.

Provides an implementation for seqan3::complement, required to model seqan3::nucleotide_alphabet.

Complexity

Constant.

Exceptions

Guaranteed not to throw.

◆ to_char()

constexpr char_type seqan3::alphabet_base< dna4 , size, char >::to_char ( ) const
inlineconstexprnoexceptinherited

Return the letter as a character of char_type.

Provides an implementation for seqan3::to_char, required to model seqan3::alphabet.

Complexity

Constant.

Exceptions

Guaranteed not to throw.

◆ to_rank()

constexpr rank_type seqan3::alphabet_base< dna4 , size, char >::to_rank ( ) const
inlineconstexprnoexceptinherited

Return the letter's numeric value (rank in the alphabet).

Provides an implementation for seqan3::to_rank, required to model seqan3::semialphabet.

Complexity

Constant.

Exceptions

Guaranteed not to throw.
