NAME
    NucleicAcids

SYNOPSIS
    use NucleicAcids;

    use NucleicAcids qw(:all);

DESCRIPTION
    NucleicAcids module the provides the following functions:

    GetNucleicAcidPropertiesData, GetNucleicAcidPropertiesNames,
    GetNucleicAcids, GetNucleicAcidsByType, IsNucleicAcid,
    IsNucleicAcidProperty, IsNucleicAcidType

Functions
    GetNucleicAcids
            (@Names) = GetNucleicAcids([$NameType]);
            $NamesRef = GetNucleicAcids([$NameType]);

        Returns an array or a reference to an array containing names of
        nucleic acids as a code or nucleic acid name controlled by optional
        parameter *NameType*. By default, nucleic acids names are returned
        as the code. Possible values for *NameType*: *Code or Name*.

    GetNucleicAcidsByType
            (@Names) = GetNucleicAcidsByType([$Type, $NameType]);
            $NamesRef = GetNucleicAcidsByType([$Type, $NameType]);

        Returns an array or a reference to an array containing names of
        nucleic acids specified by parameter *Type* as a code or name
        controlled by optional parameter *NameType*. Default values for
        *Type*: *Nucleoside*. Default value for *NameType*: *Code*. Possible
        values for *Type*: *Nucleobase, Nucleoside, Deoxynucleoside,
        Nucleotide, Deoxynucleotide*. Possible values for *NameType*: *Code
        or Name*.

    GetNucleicAcidPropertiesData
            $DataHashRef = GetNucleicAcidPropertiesData($NucleicAcidID);

        Returns a reference to hash containing property names and values for
        a specified *NucleicAcidID*.

    GetNucleicAcidPropertyName
            $Value = GetNucleicAcid<PropertyName>($NucleicAcidID);

        Returns nucleic acid property value for a specified *NucleicAcidID*.
        This function is implemented on-the-fly using Perl's AUTOLOAD
        functionality.

    GetNucleicAcidPropertiesNames
            @Names = GetNucleicAcidPropertiesNames([$Mode]);
            $NamesRef = GetNucleicAcidPropertiesNames([$Mode]);

        Returns an array or a reference to an array containing names of
        properties for nucleic acids. Order of nucleic acids properties is
        controlled by optional parameter *Mode*. Possible values for *Mode*:
        *Alphabetical or ByGroup*; Default: *ByGroup*.

    IsNucleicAcid
            $Status = IsNucleicAcid($NucleicAcidID);

        Returns 1 or 0 based on whether it's a known nucleic acid ID.

    IsNucleicAcidProperty
            $Status = IsNucleicAcid($PropertyName);

        Returns 1 or 0 based on whether it's a known nucleic acid property
        name.

    IsNucleicAcidType
            $Status = IsNucleicAcidType();

        Returns 1 or 0 based on whether it's a known nucleic acid type.
