Usage

SiD.value(rscu.host,rscu.virus)

Arguments

rscu.host

a data frame with RSCU a host codon values.

rscu.virus

Examples

# read DNA from fasta file
fasta <- fasta.read("virus.fasta", "host.fasta")
fasta.v <- fasta[[1]]
fasta.h <- fasta[[2]]
RSCU.H <- RSCU.values(fasta.h)
RSCU.V <- RSCU.values(fasta.v)

# Calculate SiD
SiD <- SiD.value(RSCU.host, RSCU.virus)
