Public methodStatic memberGetLittleEndianByteArray(UInt32)
Gets a byte array which represents value of 32 bit unsigned integer in LittleEndian format.
Public methodStatic memberGetMatePairedReadType
Gets the mate paired read type. That is for F/1/X1 it provides R/2/Y1.
Public methodStatic memberGetNormalRandom(Double, Double)
Returns random numbers according to an approximate normal distribution with an average and standard deviation set by the caller.
Public methodStatic memberGetNormalRandom(Double, Double, Int32)
Returns random numbers according to an approximate normal distribution with an average and standard deviation set by the caller. This is done iteratively using the central limit theorem.
Public methodStatic memberGetPairedReadId
Concatenates the specified original sequence id, paired read type and library name to paired read id format.
Public methodStatic memberGetProjectIdentifier
Returns a string which represents specified ProjectIdentifier.
Public methodStatic memberGetReadIdExcludingOtherInfo
Returns the id exluding the otherinformation part from it.
Public methodStatic memberGetReverseComplement
Get reverse complement of sequence string. Handles only unambiguous DNA sequence strings. Note: This method is a light-weight implementation of sequence.ReverseComplement. This only works for unambiguous DNA sequences, which is characteristic of the input for de-novo.
Public methodStatic memberGetSequenceRange
Get a range of sequence.
Public methodStatic memberGetSequenceSegment

Returns a SequenceStrandTopology corresponds to the specified string.
Public methodStatic memberGetStrandTopology(SequenceStrandTopology)
Returns a string which represents specified SequenceStrandTopology.
Public methodStatic memberGetStrandType(String)
Returns a SequenceStrandType corresponds to the specified string.
Public methodStatic memberGetStrandType(SequenceStrandType)
Returns a string which represents specified SequenceStrandType.
Public methodStatic memberGetString
Gets string representing specified delta alignment. This method is used in comparative Utilities to write delta alignments to file.
Public methodStatic memberGetUInt16
Returns 16 bit unsigned integer from the byte array stored as little-endian.
Public methodStatic memberGetUInt32
Returns 32 bit unsigned integer from the byte array stored as little-endian.
Public methodStatic memberGetUInt64
Returns 32 bit unsigned integer from the byte array stored as little-endian.
Public methodStatic memberIsBAM
Identifies if a file extension is a valid extension for BAM formats.
Public methodStatic memberIsFasta
Identifies if a file extension is a valid extension for FASTA formats.
Public methodStatic memberIsFastQ
Identifies if a file extension is a valid extension for FastQ formats.
Public methodStatic memberIsGenBank

Public methodStatic memberValidatePairedSequenceId
Validates the specified sequence id is in the format of paired read or not. If so then gets the original sequence id, paired read type and library name from the paired sequence id. For Example: if the sequence id is "seq1.F:10K!324;abcd;345" then this method will return true and originalSequenceId - "seq1" pairedReadType - "F" libraryName - "10K" if the sequence id is not in the format of "originalSequenceId.{F,R}:LibraryName" or "originalSequenceId.{F,R}:LibraryName!otherInfo" then this method will return false.
