Hi, nice project! But I am confused about this parameter. From my understanding, there are only four types of base, i.e. ATCG. Why you set the vocabulary size as 16? Thx!

In most cases, 4 is enough. Using 16 considers the case that there are other IUPAC DNA/RNA bases in the sequence. See IUPAC Codes.
