I'm just a stupid chemist, could you explain to me why you need to 
create arrays of complements, representations and ambiguous bases for 
each base and what they are?

(I do know that each base has a complement and what DNA looks like, but 
don't understand why you'd need an array for each base, or did you mean 
to create a complement sequence dynamically?)
