splitseq {seqinr}

split a sequence into sub-sequences

Description

Split a sequence into sub-sequences of 3 (the default size) with no overlap between the sub-sequences.

Usage

splitseq(seq, frame = 0, word = 3)

Arguments

seq

a vector of chars

frame

an integer (0, 1, 2) giving the starting position to split the sequence

word

an integer giving the size of the sub-sequences

Value

This function returns a vector which contains the sub-sequences.

Examples

cds <- s2c("aacgttgcaggtcgctcgctacgtagctactgttt")
#
# To obtain the codon sequence in frame 0:
#
stopifnot(identical(splitseq(cds), 
  c("aac", "gtt", "gca", "ggt", "cgc", "tcg", "cta", "cgt", "agc", "tac", "tgt")))
#
# Show the effect of frame and word with a ten char sequence:
#
(tenchar <- s2c("1234567890"))
splitseq(tenchar, frame = 0)
splitseq(tenchar, frame = 1)
splitseq(tenchar, frame = 2)
splitseq(tenchar, frame = 0, word = 2)
splitseq(tenchar, frame = 0, word = 1)
