seqcomplement

Calculate complementary strand of nucleotide sequence

Syntax

SeqC= seqcomplement(SeqNT)

Arguments

SeqNT

Nucleotide sequence specified by any of the following:

Description

SeqC= seqcomplement(SeqNT)calculates the complementary strand of a DNA or RNA nucleotide sequence. The return sequence,SeqC, is in the same format asSeqNT. For example, ifSeqNTis a vector of integers, then so isSeqC.

Nucleotide inSeqNT Converts to This Nucleotide inSeqC
A TorU
C G
G C
TorU A

Examples

Return the complement of a DNA nucleotide sequence.
