fickettScore {ftrCOOL}

Fickett Score (fickettScore)

Description

This function calculates the ficket score of each sequence.

Usage

fickettScore(seqs, ORF = FALSE, reverseORF = TRUE, label = c())

Arguments

seqs

is a FASTA file containing nucleotide sequences. The sequences start with '>'. Also, seqs could be a string vector. Each element of the vector is a nucleotide sequence.

ORF

(Open Reading Frame) is a logical parameter. If it is set to true, ORF region of each sequence is considered instead of the original sequence (i.e., 3-frame).

reverseORF

is a logical parameter. It is enabled only if ORF is true. If reverseORF is true, ORF region will be searched in the sequence and also in the reverse complement of the sequence (i.e., 6-frame).

label

is an optional parameter. It is a vector whose length is equivalent to the number of sequences. It shows the class of each entry (i.e., sequence).

Value

The function returns a feature vector. The length of the vector is equal to the number of sequences. Each entry in the vector contains the value of the fickett score.

Examples

fileLNC<-system.file("extdata/Athaliana_LNCRNA.fa",package="ftrCOOL")
vect<-fickettScore(seqs=fileLNC,ORF=TRUE,reverseORF=FALSE)
