//! Alphabet definitions and encoding for DNA and protein sequences.
//!
//! Each alphabet is represented by a marker struct ([`DNA`], [`Protein`]) that
//! implements [`AlphabetEncoding`]. The associated `Symbol` types are enums
//! whose variants cover the standard characters plus a gap and an ambiguity
//! symbol (`N` for DNA, `X` for protein). Unknown input bytes are silently
//! mapped to the ambiguity symbol rather than panicking.

/// Trait that defines a biological sequence alphabet and its byte encoding.
///
/// Implementations map raw bytes (as they appear in a FASTA file) to typed
/// symbol values. Unknown or ambiguous characters are mapped to the alphabet's
/// "wildcard" variant rather than producing an error.
///
/// The trait is generic so that [`crate::models::ModelCalculation`] and
/// [`crate::msa::MSA`] can be parameterised over any alphabet without
/// duplicating logic.

    fn n_symbols() -> usize;
}

/// A single nucleotide in the DNA alphabet.
///
/// `N` is used for unknown/ambiguous bases. `Gap` corresponds to the `-`
/// character in aligned sequences. Any byte not matching `A/C/G/T/N/-`
/// (case-insensitive) is mapped to `N`.
