Syntax

public class Genome

The Genome type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	Genome	Uses file names to direct input and output

Methods

	Name	Description
	Compress	Reads a sequence of 8-bit extended ASCII characters over the alphabet { A, C, T, G } from standard input; compresses them using two bits per character; and writes the results to standard output.
	Expand	Reads a binary sequence from standard input; converts each two bits to an 8-bit extended ASCII character over the alphabet { A, C, T, G }; and writes the results to standard output.
	MainTest	Sample client that calls compress() if the command-line argument is "-" an expand() if it is "+".

Remarks

For additional documentation, see Section 5.5 of Algorithms, 4th Edition by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.

This class is a C# port from the original Java class Genome implementation by the respective authors.
