count.function {VLF}

Nucleotide Count

Description

Counts the number of each dNTP in each position of an aligned barcode matrix.

Usage

count.function(nucleotides, spec.no, seqlength)

Arguments

nucleotides

A matrix of aligned DNA barcode sequences. DNA sequences should start at the third column of the matrix, while the first column contains a unique specimen identifier and the second column contains the species name.

spec.no

The number of specimen/sequences in the nucldeotide matrix.

seqlength

The length of the nucleotide sequences.

Value

A matrix containing the number of each nucleotide in each position of the sequence. Each row is a different dNTP count, while the columns represent the sequence position.
