defmodule Bio.Restriction do
@moduledoc """
Functions related to restriction enzyme data.
The primary function is `digest`. The `digest` function works by recursively
breaking down a binary and checking to see if the pattern for a given enzyme
exists within it.
> #### Note {: .neutral}
> Currently we don't support enzymes that have two cut sites, or
> enzymes with ambiguous DNA recognition.
Restriction is also the namespace for `Enzyme`, where functions for accessing
all the downloaded restriction enzyme data lives. Inside of
`Bio.Restriction.Enzyme` there is a struct defined. Each method named in the
lowercase fashion of the restriction enzymes returns an instance of this
struct.
The enzyme HpyUM037X is removed from the set, since it has two conflicting
entries in the emboss data. If you can resolve this distinction, please feel
free to either contribute a fix, or open an issue that explains how one would
be implemented.
"""
@doc """
Digest takes in a string, anticipated to be a DNA sequence, and extracts the
components of the string as a tuple that would remain after digestion with a
given restriction enzyme.
## Examples
iex> Bio.Restriction.digest("ttagatgacgtctcgattagagt", Bio.Restriction.Enzyme.bsmbi)
["ttagatgacgtctcg", "attagagt"]
Currently this will work for enzymes that look back as well:
iex> Bio.Restriction.digest("ggatgcagatcagacgaggattga", Bio.Restriction.Enzyme.bsp143i)
["ggatgc", "agatcagacgaggattga"]
It does not yet work on enzymes that would produce digestions with three parts
such as NmeDI, nor will it work on enzymes whose recognition pattern is
defined using ambiguous DNA (even simply N).
