genespeak 0.0.7

A library to encode text as DNA and decode DNA to text.

GeneSpeak

A library to encode text as DNA and decode DNA to text.

GeneSpeak allows you to encode regular text as DNA using base-pairs (A, T, G, C) and convert back to the original text. Text encoding is done for both ascii and utf-8 characters based on the strategy keyword argument. The encoding scheme could be any combination of A, T, G, C.

Installation

You can install the library via pip or conda.

Usage

import genespeak as gp
print(f'{gp.__name__} version: {gp.__version__}')

schema = "ATCG" # (1)
strategy = "ascii" # (2)
text = "Hello World!"

dna = gp.text_to_dna(text, schema=schema)
text_from_dna = gp.dna_to_text(dna, schema=schema)
print(f'Text: {text}\nEncoded DNA: {dna}\nDecoded Text: {text_from_dna}\nSuccess: {text == text_from_dna}')

Output

genespeak version: 0.0.5
Text: Hello World!
Encoded DNA: TACATCTTTCGATCGATCGGACAATTTGTCGGTGACTCGATCTAACAT

Text: Hello World!
Encoded DNA: TACATCTTTCGATCGATCGGACAATTTGTCGGTGACTCGATCTAACAT
Decoded Text: Hello World!
