Transforms binary and strings into quaternary (ATCG) or the other way around When transformed to quaternary, a special syntaxe is used :
The formatted sentence of "This is a secret message" becomes "This IS#a&secrEt§meSsAgE".
Also to make sure we know where the message starts and stops, I encapsulated the message between "START" and "STOP". Therefore the previous sentence "This is a secret message" actually becomes "STARTThis IS#a&secrEt§meSsAgESTOP".
This is a chart showing how quaternary is codded in binary :
| DNA | Binary |
|---|---|
| A | 00 |
| C | 01 |
| G | 10 |
| T | 11 |
