Common sequence manipulation functions
So far, you've learned the the most common sequence manipulation functions:
reverse()
complement()
reverseComplement()
translate()
In real life, you can manipulate really large sequences using these functions.
However, to see the value and the results of these functions in this exercise, you will use a small subset. The object zikv, which you have previously subsetted from the Zika genome, has only 30 bases.

Exercise instructions
Test the functions using zikv:
- Reverse the sequence.
- Complement of the sequence.
- Reverse complement the sequence.
- Translate the sequence.
