If you know the format of the string is always the same you can do
something like this. This fails when you have strings that do not have
the '/' in the middle and has 2 characters on either side.
def parseString(s):
n = s.find('/')
l = []
if n:
l = [s[0],s[n-1:n+2], s[-1]]
return l
>>> parseString(s)
['A', 'T/C', 'G']
