Arguments to be passed to methods, such as graphical parameters (see ‘par’).
Value
A numeric vector containing the complexity score for each sequence.
Details
The complexity score is based on how often different trinucleotides occur and is scaled between 0
and 100. A sequence of homopolymer repeats (e.g. TTTTTTTTTT) has a score of 100, of dinucleotide
repeats (e.g. TATATATATA) has a score around 49, and of trinucleotide repeats (e.g. TAGTAGTAG) has
a score around 32. Scores above seven can be considered low-complexity.
