Partial functions are commonly frowned upon. I'd recommend to provide an extra argument reverseComplement :: alphabet -> alphabet to any algorithm that requires it.
You could even write your algorithm for sequences over an alphabet that is only of Eq class, and use reverseComplement to define a custom (==) function.
