Attributes

complement_map

Return mapping of nucleotide characters to their complements.

Methods

complement	Return the complement of the nucleotide sequence.
gc_content	Calculate the relative frequency of G's and C's in the sequence.
gc_frequency	Calculate frequency of G's and C's in the sequence.
is_reverse_complement	Determine if a sequence is the reverse complement of this sequence.
reverse_complement	Return the reverse complement of the nucleotide sequence.

Special methods (inherited)

__eq__	Return self==value.
__ge__	Return self>=value.
__getstate__	Helper for pickle.
__gt__	Return self>value.
__hash__	Return hash(self).
__le__	Return self<=value.
__lt__	Return self<value.
__ne__	Return self!=value.
__str__	Return str(self).

Details

complement_map

Return mapping of nucleotide characters to their complements.

Returns:

dict

Mapping of each character to its complement.

Notes

Complements cannot be defined for a generic nucleotide sequence because the complement of A is ambiguous. Thanks, nature…
