func ProteinSequence(length int, seed int64) (string, error)

ProteinSequence returns a random protein sequence as a string that have size length, starts with aminoacid M (Methionine) and finishes with * (stop codon). The random generator uses the seed provided as parameter.

Example

// RandomProteinSequence builds a Protein Sequence by only passing through arguments a length and a seed that will be use to generate a randomly the sequence. The length needs to be greater than two because every sequence already have a start and stop codon. Seed makes this test deterministic.
randomProtein, _ := ProteinSequence(15, 2)
fmt.Println(randomProtein)

Output:

MHHPAFRMFNTMYG*
