Meeting with WS: nanocad objectives
2007-05-07
- Focus on ASCII input today
- Honeycomb node array slices
- Optional module for converting XXX into actual numbers for virtual strands
- Possibly encode scaffold crossover information here
- User should, at minimum, specify the starting helix number, perhaps a few other numbers
- ASCII scaffold path
- 21 bp and 32 bp zones possible
- Encode binary position of scaffold crossovers using ...L or ...R where ... is the virtual strand partner
- 12 character space to accommodate up to three scaffold crossovers per zone
- Program spits out generic scaffold path if none is specified by user
- Can be programmed to introduce default scaffold crossovers if desired
- Be open to many module rewrites, trying out different data structures
