The virtual ModString
class derives from the XString
virtual
class. Like its parent and its children, it is used for storing sequences of
characters. However, the XString
/BString
class requires single
byte characters as the letters of the input sequences. The ModString
extends the capability for multi-byte chracters by encoding these characters
into a single byte characters using a dictionary for internal conversion. It
also takes care of different encoding behavior of operating systems.
The ModDNAString
and ModRNAString
classes derive
from the ModString
class and use the functionality to store nucleotide
sequences containing modified nucleotides. To describe modified RNA and DNA
nucleotides with a single letter, special characters are commonly used, eg.
from the greek alphabet, which are multi-byte characters.
The ModString
class is virtual and it cannot be directly used to
create an object. Please have a look at ModDNAString
and
ModRNAString
for the specific alphabets of the individual
classes.
