[Biococoa-dev] Demo App

[Alexander Griekspoor]

Hi John,

Wow, the conversion is really fast, this is really promising! I tested 
it with 67kb, no problem, conversion within half a second on my 1Ghz 
G4.... I got one exception now. If you try to convert the string (easy 
to use in debugging): ACGTNWMYRKHVDB-?
You get two exceptions:
2004-08-27 09:07:20.075 demo_app[1121] *** +[BCNucleotideDNA Y]: 
selector not recognized
2004-08-27 09:07:43.000 demo_app[1121] *** +[BCNucleotideDNA R]: 
selector not recognized
Guess, you will know immediately where something is lacking (plist?).

Finally, I guess it's easy to add the following methods in addition to 
complement and reverse complement:
- (BCSequenceDNA *) reverseOfSequence;
- (BCSequenceDNA *) uppercaseSequence;
- (BCSequenceDNA *) lowercaseSequence;

I'm not sure if the "Of" in the method name is necessary here, because 
it doesn't take a parameter right?
[theSequence reverseSequence] sounds more logical than [theSequence 
reverseOfSequence], in the latter case I question myself: wchich 
sequence? It would even be fine to call [theSequence reverse] but that 
would suggest that you change the current sequence, while 
reverseSequence describes the method better as we return a new sequence 
object.

Cheers,
Alex
