rnd_dbseq's Introduction

`rnd_dbseq` - Random de Bruijn sequence

Implementation in C++ and python for the generation of random de Bruijn sequences of any alphabet.

Binary alphabet

Generate a binary random de Bruijn sequence.

Compile

cd binary_alphabet
g++ -O2 rnd_dbseq.cpp -o rnd_dbseq

Usage

Generate a random de Bruijn sequence of order 5.

rnd_dbseq 5

Python

cd binary_alphabet/python
python rnd_dbseq.py 5

General alphabet

Generate a random de Bruijn sequence for any alphabet.

Compile

cd general_alphabet
g++ -O2 rnd_dbseq.cpp -o rnd_dbseq

Usage

Generate a random de Bruijn sequence of alphabet (sigma) 4 of order 5.

rnd_dbseq 4 5

Python

cd general_alphabet/python
python rnd_dbseq.py 4 5
