def assessOligo(seq):
hairpin_out = calcHairpin(seq)<EOL>homodimer_out = calcHomodimer(seq)<EOL>return (hairpin_out, homodimer_out)<EOL>
Return the thermodynamic characteristics of hairpin/homodimer structures.

Returns a tuple of namedtuples (hairpin data, homodimer data) in which each
individual tuple is structured (dS, dH, dG, Tm).
