Challenge: Reverse Complement Batch Processing
In bioinformatics, it is common to work with large batches of DNA sequences. Often, you need to generate the reverse complement of each sequence before further analysis—such as primer design or motif searching. Manually processing each sequence would be tedious and error-prone, especially when handling hundreds or thousands of entries. Automating this process allows you to efficiently prepare your data for downstream genomics applications.

You are working with DNA sequence data, where each sequence may include a mix of valid DNA bases ("A", "T", "C", "G") and invalid or ambiguous characters. In bioinformatics, it is often necessary to process large batches of such DNA sequences to prepare them for further analysis. One common requirement is to generate the reverse complement of each DNA sequence. The reverse complement of a DNA sequence is formed by first replacing each base with its complement ("A" with "T", "T" with "A", "C" with "G", and "G" with "C"), and then reversing the resulting string.
Your task is to automate this process by writing a function that processes a list of DNA sequence strings as follows:
- For each sequence in the input list, examine each character and filter out any characters that are not valid DNA bases ("A", "T", "C", or "G"), treating both uppercase and lowercase letters as valid.
- After filtering, convert all bases to uppercase to ensure consistent processing.
- For each filtered sequence, generate the reverse complement by substituting each base with its complement and then reversing the order of the bases.
- If a sequence contains only invalid characters or is empty, its result should be an empty string in the output list.
- Return a list containing the reverse complements for all input sequences, preserving the original input order.
This function will help you efficiently prepare DNA sequence data for downstream tasks such as motif finding, primer design, or sequence alignment, while ensuring that only valid DNA information is processed and all invalid or extraneous characters are ignored.
