DNA Sequencing tools

Tools to help sequence and visualize binary and non-binary files.

The nucleotide in DNA consists of a sugar (deoxyribose), one of four bases (cytosine (C), thymine (T), adenine (A), guanine (G)), and a phosphate. Cytosine and thymine are pyrimidine bases, while adenine and guanine are purine bases. The sugar and the base together are called a nucleoside.

dna-encoder

Takes a file (binary or non-binary) and encodes it to DNA sequence.

Binary representation of every byte is translated into DNA by encoding the following.

00    A    Adenine     color.RGBA{0, 0, 255, 255}
01    G    Guanine     color.RGBA{0, 100, 0, 255}
10    C    Cytosine    color.RGBA{255, 0, 0, 255}
11    T    Thymine     color.RGBA{255, 255, 0, 255}
