Detailed Description

Provides templates for combining existing alphabets into new alphabet types.

Introduction

This module provides various class templates that allow you to combine existing alphabets into new ones. For example, you can add new characters to existing alphabets by using bio::alphabet::variant or combine alphabets with quality information by using bio::alphabet::tuple_base.

We have currently three major composite alphabets:

• bio::alphabet::tuple_base which can be used to create a std::tuple like object that still models bio::alphabet::alphabet.
• bio::alphabet::variant which roughly corresponds to the Union of the given types. It behaves similar to std::variant, but also models bio::alphabet::alphabet.
• bio::alphabet::semialphabet_any which type erases other alphabets of the same size and allows again transformation to alphabets of the same size by copying the rank.
