Sequence.matches(other)[source]#

Find positions that match with another sequence.

Parameters:

otherstr, Sequence, or 1D np.ndarray (np.uint8 or ‘|S1’): Sequence to compare to.

Returns:

1D np.ndarray (bool): Boolean vector where True at position i indicates a match between the sequences at their positions i.

Raises:

ValueError: If the sequences are not the same length.
TypeError: If other is a Sequence object with a different type than this sequence.
