Instance Method Details

#add_spacing(seq, cs = cut_symbol) ⇒ Object

Return the sequence with spacing for alignment. Does not add whitespace around cut symbols.

Example:

pattern = 'n^ng^arraxt^n'
add_spacing( pattern )      # => "n^n g^a r r a x t^n"

Arguments

  • seq: sequence with cut symbols

  • cs: (optional) Cut symbol along the string. The reason this is definable outside of CutSymbol is that this is a utility function used to form vertical and horizontal cuts such as:

    a|t g c
 +---+
t a c|g
Returns

String sequence with single character distance between bases

#left_padding(s) ⇒ Object

Return the ‘n’ padding on the left side of the strand

Arguments

#strip_cuts_and_padding(s) ⇒ Object

Remove extraneous nucleic acid wildcards (‘n’ padding) from the left and right sides and remove cut symbols

Arguments
