=head1 NAME

Bio::EnsEMBL::Utils::Sequence - Utility functions for sequences

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::EnsEMBL::Utils::Sequence qw(reverse_comp expand);

  my $seq = 'ACTTTAAAGGCTATCCCAATATG';

  print "my sequence = $seq\n";

  reverse_comp( \$seq );

  print "my reverse comp = $seq\n";

  my $compressed_seq = '(AC)3';

  print "my expanded seq is = expand($compressed_seq)";

=head1 METHODS

=cut

=head2 reverse_comp

  Arg [1]    : reference to a string $seqref
  Example    : use Bio::EnsEMBL::Utils::Sequence qw(reverse_comp);

               $seq = 'ACCTGAA';
               reverse_comp(\$seq);
               print $seq;

  Description: Does an in place reverse compliment of a passed in string
               reference.  The string is passed by reference
               rather than by value for memory efficiency.
  Returntype : none
  Exceptions : none
  Caller     : SequenceAdaptor, SliceAdaptor

=cut

sub reverse_comp {
  my $seqref = shift;

  $$seqref = reverse( $$seqref );
  $$seqref =~
    tr/acgtrymkswhbvdnxACGTRYMKSWHBVDNX/tgcayrkmswdvbhnxTGCAYRKMSWDVBHNX/;

  return;
}

=head2 expand

  Arg [1]    : reference to a string $seqref
  Example    : use Bio::EnsEMBL::Utils::Sequence qw(expand);

               $seq = '(AC)3';
               expand(\$seq);
               print $seq;
              

  Description: Expands a genomic sequence. The string is passed by reference
               rather than by value for memory efficiency.
  Returntype : none
  Exceptions : none
  Caller     : SequenceAdaptor, SliceAdaptor

=cut

sub expand {
  my $seq_ref = shift;
     $$seq_ref =~ s/(\w*)\((\w+)\)(\d+)/$1.$2 x $3/eg  if ($$seq_ref =~ /\(/);#expressions with parenthesis, expand the alleles			    
  return;
