Lowercase `protospacer` does not work #216

Closed dgruano closed 6 months ago

dgruano commented 8 months ago

The following code does not find a cas9 hit, when it should. Changing the input guide to uppercase solves the issue


from pydna.dseqrecord import Dseqrecord
from pydna.crispr import cas9, protospacer

guide = "gttactttacccgacgtccc"
target = "GTTACTTTACCCGACGTCCCaGG"

# Create an enzyme object with the guide RNA
enzyme = cas9(guide)

# Search for a cutsite in the target sequence
print(enzyme.search(target))  # Returns [], should return [18]

`
``

`guide = guide.upper()` fixes it.

Thanks for the input, this is now in latest v6.0.0a30 release.

Hello, this was not completely fixed. The composite was still being created not in uppercase if instantiating cas9(guide). Should be fixed in the next PR.

btw, @BjornFJohansson, I think we should capitalise the first letter of the class cas9 -> Cas9 to be more "pythonic"
