- psidev.psi.mi.jami.utils.comparator.interactor.NucleicAcidComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator<NucleicAcid>

Direct Known Subclasses:

UnambiguousExactNucleicAcidComparator, UnambiguousNucleicAcidComparator
```
public class NucleicAcidComparator
extends Object
implements Comparator<NucleicAcid>
```
Unambiguous nucleic acids comparator. It will first use UnambiguousPolymerComparator to compare the basic interactor properties. If the basic polymer properties are the same, It will look for DDBJ/EMBL/Genbank identifier. If the DDBJ/EMBL/Genbank identifiers are identical, it will look at the Refseq identifiers.

public NucleicAcidComparator(PolymerComparator polymerComparator)
```
    Creates a new UnambiguousNucleicAcidComparator. It will uses a UnambiguousInteractorBaseComparator to compare interactor properties and a OrganismTaxIdComparator to compares organism.
    
    Parameters:
    
    polymerComparator - a PolymerComparator object.

```
public int compare(NucleicAcid nucleicAcid1,
                   NucleicAcid nucleicAcid2)
```
    It will first use UnambiguousPolymerComparator to compare the basic interactor properties. If the basic polymer properties are the same, It will look for DDBJ/EMBL/Genbank identifier. If the DDBJ/EMBL/Genbank identifiers are identical, it will look at the Refseq identifiers.
    
    Specified by:
    
    compare in interface Comparator<NucleicAcid>
    
    Parameters:
