class _RestrictedDict(dict[str, Sequence[Any]]):
    """Dict which only allows sequences of given length as values (PRIVATE).

    This simple subclass of the Python dictionary is used in the SeqRecord
    object for holding per-letter-annotations.  This class is intended to
    prevent simple errors by only allowing python sequences (e.g. lists,
    strings and tuples) to be stored, and only if their length matches that
    expected (the length of the SeqRecord's seq object).  It cannot however
    prevent the entries being edited in situ (for example appending entries
    to a list).

    >>> x = _RestrictedDict(5)
    >>> x["test"] = "hello"
    >>> x
    {'test': 'hello'}

    Adding entries which don't have the expected length are blocked:

    >>> x["test"] = "hello world"
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
    TypeError: Any per-letter annotation should be a Python sequence (list, tuple or string) of the same length as the biological sequence, here 5.

    The expected length is stored as a private attribute,

    >>> x._length
    5

    In order that the SeqRecord (and other objects using this class) can be
    pickled, for example for use in the multiprocessing library, we need to
    be able to pickle the restricted dictionary objects.

    Using the default protocol, which is 3 on Python 3,

    >>> import pickle
    >>> y = pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(x))
    >>> y
    {'test': 'hello'}
    >>> y._length
    5

    Using the highest protocol, which is 4 on Python 3,

    >>> import pickle
    >>> z = pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(x, pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL))
    >>> z
    {'test': 'hello'}
    >>> z._length

class SeqRecord:
    """A SeqRecord object holds a sequence and information about it.

    Main attributes:
     - id          - Identifier such as a locus tag (string)
     - seq         - The sequence itself (Seq object or similar)

    Additional attributes:
     - name        - Sequence name, e.g. gene name (string)
     - description - Additional text (string)
     - dbxrefs     - List of database cross references (list of strings)
     - features    - Any (sub)features defined (list of SeqFeature objects)
     - annotations - Further information about the whole sequence (dictionary).
       Most entries are strings, or lists of strings.
     - letter_annotations - Per letter/symbol annotation (restricted
       dictionary). This holds Python sequences (lists, strings
       or tuples) whose length matches that of the sequence.
       A typical use would be to hold a list of integers
       representing sequencing quality scores, or a string
       representing the secondary structure.

    You will typically use Bio.SeqIO to read in sequences from files as
    SeqRecord objects.  However, you may want to create your own SeqRecord
    objects directly (see the __init__ method for further details):

    >>> from Bio.Seq import Seq
    >>> from Bio.SeqRecord import SeqRecord
    >>> record = SeqRecord(Seq("MKQHKAMIVALIVICITAVVAALVTRKDLCEVHIRTGQTEVAVF"),
    ...                    id="YP_025292.1", name="HokC",
    ...                    description="toxic membrane protein")
    >>> print(record)
    ID: YP_025292.1
    Name: HokC
    Description: toxic membrane protein
    Number of features: 0
    Seq('MKQHKAMIVALIVICITAVVAALVTRKDLCEVHIRTGQTEVAVF')

    If you want to save SeqRecord objects to a sequence file, use Bio.SeqIO
    for this.  For the special case where you want the SeqRecord turned into
    a string in a particular file format there is a format method which uses
    Bio.SeqIO internally:

    >>> print(record.format("fasta"))
    >YP_025292.1 toxic membrane protein
    MKQHKAMIVALIVICITAVVAALVTRKDLCEVHIRTGQTEVAVF
    <BLANKLINE>

    You can also do things like slicing a SeqRecord, checking its length, etc

    >>> len(record)
    44
    >>> edited = record[:10] + record[11:]
    >>> print(edited.seq)
    MKQHKAMIVAIVICITAVVAALVTRKDLCEVHIRTGQTEVAVF

        Consider this example using Bio.SeqIO to read in an example Solexa
        variant FASTQ file as a SeqRecord:

        The letter_annotations get sliced automatically if you slice the
        parent SeqRecord, for example taking the last ten bases:

        >>> sub_record = record[-10:]
        >>> print("%s %s" % (sub_record.id, sub_record.seq))
        slxa_0001_1_0001_01 ACGTNNNNNN
        >>> print(sub_record.letter_annotations["solexa_quality"])
        [4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5]

        Any python sequence (i.e. list, tuple or string) can be recorded in
        the SeqRecord's letter_annotations dictionary as long as the length
        matches that of the SeqRecord's sequence.  e.g.

        >>> len(sub_record.letter_annotations)
        1
        >>> sub_record.letter_annotations["dummy"] = "abcdefghij"
        >>> len(sub_record.letter_annotations)
        2

        You can delete entries from the letter_annotations dictionary as usual:

        >>> del sub_record.letter_annotations["solexa_quality"]
        >>> sub_record.letter_annotations
        {'dummy': 'abcdefghij'}

        You can completely clear the dictionary easily as follows:

        >>> sub_record.letter_annotations = {}
        >>> sub_record.letter_annotations
        {}

        Note that if replacing the record's sequence with a sequence of a
        different length you must first clear the letter_annotations dict.

        Using an integer index, e.g. my_record[5] is shorthand for

        For example, consider this short protein and its secondary
        structure as encoded by the PDB (e.g. H for alpha helices),
        plus a simple feature for its histidine self phosphorylation

        >>> rec.features.append(SeqFeature(SimpleLocation(20, 21),
        ...                     type = "Site"))

        Now let's have a quick look at the full record,

        >>> print(rec)

        '  S  SSSSSSHHHHHTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTT  '
        >>> print(rec.features[0].location)
        [20:21]

        Now let's take a sub sequence, here chosen as the first (fractured)
        alpha helix which includes the histidine phosphorylation site:

        >>> sub = rec[11:41]
        >>> print(sub)
        ID: 1JOY
        Name: EnvZ
        Description: Homodimeric domain of EnvZ from E. coli

        Per letter annotation for: secondary_structure

        >>> sub.letter_annotations["secondary_structure"]
        'HHHHHTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH'
        >>> print(sub.features[0].location)
        [9:10]

        You can also of course omit the start or end values, for
        example to get the first ten letters only:

        >>> print(rec[:10])

        Number of features: 0
        Per letter annotation for: secondary_structure
        Seq('MAAGVKQLAD')

        Or for the last ten letters:

        >>> print(rec[-10:])
        ID: 1JOY
        Name: EnvZ

        The new record will attempt to combine the annotation, but for any
        ambiguities (e.g. different names) it defaults to omitting that
        annotation.

        >>> from Bio import SeqIO
        >>> with open("GenBank/pBAD30.gb") as handle:
        ...     plasmid = SeqIO.read(handle, "gb")
        >>> print("%s %i" % (plasmid.id, len(plasmid)))
        pBAD30 4923

        Now let's cut the plasmid into two pieces, and join them back up the
        other way round (i.e. shift the starting point on this plasmid, have
        a look at the annotated features in the original file to see why this
        particular split point might make sense):

        >>> left = plasmid[:3765]
        >>> right = plasmid[3765:]
        >>> new = right + left
        >>> print("%s %i" % (new.id, len(new)))
        pBAD30 4923
        >>> str(new.seq) == str(right.seq + left.seq)
        True
        >>> len(new.features) == len(left.features) + len(right.features)
        True

        When we add the left and right SeqRecord objects, their annotation
        is all consistent, so it is all conserved in the new SeqRecord:

        >>> new.id == left.id == right.id == plasmid.id
        True
        >>> new.name == left.name == right.name == plasmid.name
        True
        >>> new.description == plasmid.description
        True
        >>> new.annotations == left.annotations == right.annotations
        True
        >>> new.letter_annotations == plasmid.letter_annotations
        True
        >>> new.dbxrefs == left.dbxrefs == right.dbxrefs
        True

        However, we should point out that when we sliced the SeqRecord,
        any annotations dictionary or dbxrefs list entries were lost.
        You can explicitly copy them like this:

        >>> new.annotations = plasmid.annotations.copy()
        >>> new.dbxrefs = plasmid.dbxrefs[:]

        By default the new record does NOT preserve the sequence identifier,

        these are unlikely to apply to the reversed sequence.

        You can specify the returned record's id, name and description as
        strings, or True to keep that of the parent, or False for a default.

        You can specify the returned record's features with a list of
        SeqFeature objects, or True to keep that of the parent, or False to
        omit them. The default is to keep the original features (with the
        strand and locations adjusted).

        You can also specify both the returned record's annotations and
        letter_annotations as dictionaries, True to keep that of the parent,
        or False to omit them. The default is to keep the original
        annotations (with the letter annotations reversed).

        To show what happens to the pre-letter annotations, consider an
        example Solexa variant FASTQ file with a single entry, which we'll
        read in as a SeqRecord:

        >>> from Bio import SeqIO
        >>> record = SeqIO.read("Quality/solexa_faked.fastq", "fastq-solexa")
        >>> print("%s %s" % (record.id, record.seq))

        >>> print(list(record.letter_annotations))
        ['solexa_quality']
        >>> print(record.letter_annotations["solexa_quality"])
        [40, 39, 38, 37, 36, 35, 34, 33, 32, 31, 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5]

        Now take the reverse complement, here we explicitly give a new
        identifier (the old identifier with a suffix):

        >>> rc_record = record.reverse_complement(id=record.id + "_rc")
        >>> print("%s %s" % (rc_record.id, rc_record.seq))
        slxa_0001_1_0001_01_rc NNNNNNACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGT

        Notice that the per-letter-annotations have also been reversed,
        although this may not be appropriate for all cases.

        >>> print(rc_record.letter_annotations["solexa_quality"])
        [-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40]

        Now for the features, we need a different example. Parsing a GenBank
        file is probably the easiest way to get an nice example with features
        in it...

        >>> from Bio import SeqIO
        >>> with open("GenBank/pBAD30.gb") as handle:
        ...     plasmid = SeqIO.read(handle, "gb")
        >>> print("%s %i" % (plasmid.id, len(plasmid)))
        pBAD30 4923
        >>> plasmid.seq
        Seq('GCTAGCGGAGTGTATACTGGCTTACTATGTTGGCACTGATGAGGGTGTCAGTGA...ATG')
        >>> len(plasmid.features)
        13

        Now, let's take the reverse complement of this whole plasmid:

        >>> rc_plasmid = plasmid.reverse_complement(id=plasmid.id+"_rc")
        >>> print("%s %i" % (rc_plasmid.id, len(rc_plasmid)))
        pBAD30_rc 4923
        >>> rc_plasmid.seq
        Seq('CATGGGCAAATATTATACGCAAGGCGACAAGGTGCTGATGCCGCTGGCGATTCA...AGC')
        >>> len(rc_plasmid.features)
        13

        Let's compare the first CDS feature - it has gone from being the
        second feature (index 1) to the second last feature (index -2), its
        strand has changed, and the location switched round.

        >>> print(plasmid.features[1])
        type: CDS
        location: [1081:1960](-)
        qualifiers:
            Key: label, Value: ['araC']
            Key: note, Value: ['araC regulator of the arabinose BAD promoter']
            Key: vntifkey, Value: ['4']
        <BLANKLINE>
        >>> print(rc_plasmid.features[-2])
        type: CDS
        location: [2963:3842](+)
        qualifiers:
            Key: label, Value: ['araC']
            Key: note, Value: ['araC regulator of the arabinose BAD promoter']
            Key: vntifkey, Value: ['4']
        <BLANKLINE>

        You can check this new location, based on the length of the plasmid:

        >>> len(plasmid) - 1081
        3842
        >>> len(plasmid) - 1960
        2963

        Note that if the SeqFeature annotation includes any strand specific
        information (e.g. base changes for a SNP), this information is not
        amended, and would need correction after the reverse complement.

        Note trying to reverse complement a protein SeqRecord raises an
        exception:

        >>> from Bio.Seq import Seq
        >>> from Bio.SeqRecord import SeqRecord

           ...
        ValueError: Proteins do not have complements!

        If you have RNA without any U bases, it must be annotated as RNA
        otherwise it will be treated as DNA by default with A mapped to T:

        This calls the record's .seq.translate() method (which describes
        the translation related arguments, like table for the genetic code),

        By default the new record does NOT preserve the sequence identifier,
        name, description, general annotation or database cross-references -
        these are unlikely to apply to the translated sequence.

        You can specify the returned record's id, name and description as
        strings, or True to keep that of the parent, or False for a default.

        You can specify the returned record's features with a list of
        SeqFeature objects, or False (default) to omit them.

        You can also specify both the returned record's annotations and
        letter_annotations as dictionaries, True to keep that of the parent
        (annotations only), or False (default) to omit them.
