replace_identified_by_x {protti}

Replace identified positions in protein sequence by "x"

Description

Helper function for the calculation of sequence coverage, replaces identified positions with an "x" within the protein sequence.

Usage

replace_identified_by_x(sequence, positions_start, positions_end)

Arguments

sequence

a character value that contains the protein sequence.

positions_start

a numeric vector of start positions of the identified peptides.

positions_end

a numeric vector of end positions of the identified peptides.

Value

A character vector that contains the modified protein sequence with each identified position replaced by "x".
