Detailed Descriptionstable-api

The five letter DNA alphabet of A,C,G,T and the unknown character N.

.

Note that you can assign 'U' as a character to dna5 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 'A'_dna5 or use the function seqan3::dna5::assign_char().

#include <seqan3/alphabet/nucleotide/dna5.hpp>
#include <seqan3/core/debug_stream.hpp>
 
int main()
{
    using namespace seqan3::literals;
 
    seqan3::dna5 letter{'A'_dna5};
 
    letter.assign_char('C');
    seqan3::debug_stream << letter << '\n'; // prints "C"
 
    letter.assign_char('F'); // Unknown characters are implicitly converted to N.
    seqan3::debug_stream << letter << '\n'; // prints "N"
}

This entity is stable. Since version 3.1.

Allow implicit construction from seqan3::rna5 of the same size.

Normally, we do not allow implicit conversion of single argument constructors, but in this case we make an exception, because seqan3::dna5 and seqan3::rna5 are interchangeable as they behave nearly the same (e.g. same ranks, same char to rank conversion).

#include <seqan3/alphabet/nucleotide/dna5.hpp>
#include <seqan3/alphabet/nucleotide/rna5.hpp>
 
int main()
{
    using namespace seqan3::literals;
 
    seqan3::dna5 letter1 = 'C'_rna5; // implicitly converted
    seqan3::dna5 letter2{};
    letter2 = 'C'_rna5; // implicitly converted
}

seqan3::sequences (e.g. seqan3::dna5_vector) in general aren't implicitly convertible and must be explicitly copied to be converted:

#include <vector>
 
#include <seqan3/alphabet/nucleotide/dna5.hpp>
#include <seqan3/alphabet/nucleotide/rna5.hpp>
 
int main()
{
    using namespace seqan3::literals;
 
    seqan3::dna5_vector vector{'A'_rna5, 'C'_rna5, 'G'_rna5}; // (element-wise) implicit conversion
 
    // but this won't work:
    // seqan3::dna5_vector dna5_vector{"ACGT"_rna5};
 
    // as a workaround you can use:
    // side note: this would also work without the implicit conversion.
    seqan3::rna5_vector rna5_vector = "ACGT"_rna5;
    seqan3::dna5_vector dna5_vector{rna5_vector.begin(), rna5_vector.end()};
}

You can avoid this copy by using std::ranges::views:

#include <vector>
 
#include <seqan3/alphabet/nucleotide/dna5.hpp>
#include <seqan3/alphabet/nucleotide/rna5.hpp>
#include <seqan3/utility/views/convert.hpp>
 
int main()
{
    using namespace seqan3::literals;
 
    seqan3::dna5_vector vector = "ACG"_dna5;
 
    auto rna5_view = vector | seqan3::views::convert<seqan3::rna5>;
 
    for (auto && chr: rna5_view) // converts lazily on-the-fly
    {
        static_assert(std::same_as<decltype(chr), seqan3::rna5 &&>);
    }
}

This conversion constructor only allows converting seqan3::rna5 to seqan3::dna5. Other alphabets that inherit from seqan3::rna5 will not be implicitly convertible to seqan3::dna5.

#include <seqan3/alphabet/nucleotide/dna5.hpp>
#include <seqan3/alphabet/nucleotide/rna5.hpp>
 
struct my_dna5 : public seqan3::dna5
{
    // using seqan3::dna5::dna5; // uncomment to import implicit conversion shown by letter1
};
 
struct my_rna5 : public seqan3::rna5
{};
 
int main()
{
    using namespace seqan3::literals;
 
    // my_dna5 letter1 = 'C'_rna5; // NO automatic implicit conversion!
    // seqan3::dna5 letter2 = my_rna5{}; // seqan3::dna5 only allows implicit conversion from seqan3::rna5!
}

This entity is stable. Since version 3.1.
