dnacoder

A Go module for encoding and decoding data using a ternary system and DNA nucleotide mapping. The module converts strings into DNA sequences and decodes DNA sequences back into strings, ensuring no homopolymers in the DNA sequence.

Installation

To install the package, run the following command:

go get github.com/tuxity/dnacoder

Usage

Encoding a string to a DNA sequence

You can encode any string into a DNA sequence using encode.

package main

import (
    "io/ioutil"
    "log"
    "fmt"
    "github.com/tuxity/dnacoder"
)

func main() {
    fileData, err := ioutil.ReadFile("example.txt") // Read the file as binary data
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    dnaSequence := dnacoder.encode(fileData)
    fmt.Println("Encoded DNA Sequence:", dnaSequence)
}

Decoding a DNA sequence back to a string

You can decode a DNA sequence back into the original string using decode.

package main

import (
    "io/ioutil"
    "log"
    "github.com/tuxity/dnacoder"
)

func main() {
    dnaSequence := "GAGAGCACACGTATGATACATCTCTCTACGTCAGCTATATAGATCTCTGATCTGA"
    decodedData, err := dnacoder.decode(dnaSequence)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    err = ioutil.WriteFile("decoded_example.txt", decodedData, 0644)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
}

Example Output

For the input string "Hello, DNA!", the output might look like:

Encoded DNA Sequence: GAGAGCACACGTATGATACATCTCTCTACGTCAGCTATATAGATCTCTGATCTGA
Decoded String: Hello, DNA!

Running Tests

This module includes unit tests. You can run the tests using the Go testing tool:

go test

If all tests pass, you should see output like:

ok  	github.com/tuxity/dnaencoder	0.123s
