Thanks for you replies Mark. Yes, I've read about the reverseComplement. It may be I'm dense here, but I can't see how it can help me go from RNA to DNA. The way I understand reverseComplement is that it gives the complementary strand of the argument in the reverse order (5'-3'), but in the same alphabet. I need to go from RNA to DNA. Again, I might be overlooking something?!?!

Yes, I can see the difference. transcribeToRNA() assumes the argument is the template strand in the 5'-3' direction whereas toRNA() takes the coding strand as argument (it simply translates the alphabet without any consideration of an actual transcription event). /Jacob _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - Biojava-l@biojava.org http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
