adenosine

Obtains a reference to the single adenosine representation

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) adenosine;

amino

Obtains a reference to the single M (A, C) representation

See Also:

M

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) amino;

anyBase

Obtains a reference to the single N representation

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) anyBase;

B

Obtains a reference to the single D (C, G, T) representation

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) B;

customBase:

Obtains a reference to a user-defined base

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) customBase: (NSString *)baseName;

cytidine

Obtains a reference to the single cytidine representation

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) cytidine;

D

Obtains a reference to the single D (A, G, T) representation

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) D;

gap

Obtains a reference to the single representation of a gap, for alignments

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) gap;

guanidine

Obtains a reference to the single guanidine representation

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) guanidine;

H

Obtains a reference to the single H (A, C, T) representation

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) H;

initBases

Used internaly to generate the full set of base objects.

+ (void) initBases;

initWithSymbolChar:

designated initialization method

- (id)initWithSymbolChar:(unsigned char)aChar;

Discussion

Given a symbol, this method generates the appropriate Nucleotide representation using information in the bundle's "nucleotides.plist" file.

isBase

Returns NO if the receiver is a gap or undefined

- (BOOL) isBase;

K

Obtains a reference to the single K (A, C) representation

See Also:

keto

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) keto;

keto

Obtains a reference to the single K (A, C) representation

See Also:

K

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) keto;

M

Obtains a reference to the single M (A, C) representation

See Also:

amino

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) amino;

objectForSavedRepresentation:

Returns a BCNucleotideDNA object representing the base submitted

+ (id) objectForSavedRepresentation: (NSString *)aSymbol;

Discussion

all BC classes should implement a "savableRepresentation" and an "objectForSavedRepresentation" method to allow archiving/uncarchiving in .plist formatted files.

purine

Obtains a reference to the single purine representation

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) purine;

pyrimidine

Obtains a reference to the single pyrimidine representation

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) pyrimidine;

strong

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) thymidine;

undefined

Obtains a reference to the single representation of any non-base character

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) undefined;

V

Obtains a reference to the single V (A, C, G) representation

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) V;

weak

Obtains a reference to the single weak-bond representation

+ (BCNucleotideDNA *) weak;
