Value
A matrix with sixtheen columns, one for each dinucleotide, containing the dinucleotide odds ratio
values for each sequence in a seperate row.
Details
The dinucleotide odds ratio assigns a value between 0 and 2 to each of the sixtheen possible
dinucleotides (AA, AC, AG, AT, CA, CC, CG, CT, GA, GC, GG, GT, TA, TC, TG, TT). For values below 1
the dinucleotide is under-represented compared to the randomly expected frequency of this
dinucleotide in a sequence of the given length and with the given frequencies of the four
nucleotides (A, C, G, T). For values above 1 this dinucleotide is over-represented.
