[Biojava-dev] DNATools.forSymbol

[Rhett Sutphin]

Hi,

I have what might be a stupid question:  why isn't 
DNATools.forSymbol(c) the same as 
DNATools.createDNA(Character.toString(c)).symbolAt(1) for all c?  
forSymbol only works for lowercase a, c, g, and t, while createDNA 
handles uppercase and lowercase of the whole DNA alphabet, plus gaps.  
Is there a special meaning/use of forSymbol that warrants this 
difference in behavior?

Just curious,
Rhett
