Constructor Details

#initialize(*pair) ⇒ CutLocationPair

CutLocationPair constructor.

Stores a single cut location pair in 0-based index notation for use with DoubleStranded enzyme sequences.

Example:

clp = CutLocationPair.new(3,2)
clp.primary                    # 3
clp.complement                 # 2

Arguments

  • pair: May be two values represented as an Array, a Range, or a combination of Integer and nil values. The first value represents a cut on the primary strand, the second represents a cut on the complement strand.

Returns

nothing

Instance Attribute Details

#complement ⇒ Object (readonly)

Location of the cut on the complementary strand. Corresponds - or ‘pairs’ - to the primary cut. A value of nil is an explicit representation of ‘no cut’.
