defmodule Bio.Sequence.Rna do @moduledoc """ A module for working with RNA. This module doesn't contain a representative struct, as with `Bio.Sequence.Dna`. This is because there are multiple ways to interpret a string as RNA. Namely, it can either be single or double stranded. This is why the `Bio.Sequence.RnaStrand` and `Bio.Sequence.RnaDoubleStrand` modules exist. However, this is the interface for dealing with things like `complement/1` and `reverse_complement/1`. Additionally, this module handles defining default conversions for the DNA sequence types into RNA sequence types (`Bio.Sequence.DnaStrand` and `Bio.Sequence.DnaDoubleStrand`). Conversions defined here are used by the `Bio.Sequence.RnaStrand` and `Bio.Sequence.RnaDoubleStrand` modules. The default conversions use conventional nucleotides and map them to their relevant DNA nucleotides: ``` a -> a u -> t g -> g c -> c ``` Casing is preserved, so mixed case sequences will not be altered. # Example iex>RnaStrand.new("uaUUg") ...>|> Polymer.convert(DnaStrand) {:ok, %DnaStrand{sequence: "taTTg", length: 5}} This is guaranteed, so you may encode these with intention and assume that they are preserved across conversions.
