VLF (version 1.1)

aa.compare: Amino Acid Comparison

Description

Compares amino acid very low frequency variants between specimen of the same species

Usage

aa.compare(x, seqlength)

Value

A matrix containing two vectors, one with singleton VLF counts for each position of the sequence, and one with shared VLF counts for each position of the sequence.

Arguments

x

A list of amino acid sequences separated by species name.

seqlength

The length of the amino acid sequences within the list.

Author

Taryn B.T. Athey and Paul D. McNicholas

Details

The argument x can be calculated using the separate function.

Examples

if (FALSE) data(birds_aminoAcids)
birds_aminoAcid_speciesNames <- birds_aminoAcids[,2]
aminoAcids_specimenNumber <- nrow(birds_aminoAcids)
birds_aminoAcid_count <- aa.count.function(birds_aminoAcids, 216)
aminoAcid_frequency.Matrix <- aa.frequency.matrix.function(birds_aminoAcid_count, 216)
bird_aminoAcid_frequencies <- aa.specimen.frequencies(aminoAcid_frequency.Matrix, birds_aminoAcids,
    birds_aminoAcid_speciesNames, 216)
birds_aminoAcid_specimenVLFcount <- aa.VLF.count.spec(bird_aminoAcid_frequencies, 0.001, 216)
birds_aaVLFconvert <- aa.VLF.convert.matrix(birds_aminoAcids, bird_aminoAcid_frequencies, 0.001, 
    216)
birds_aminoAcidVLFs <- VLF.aminoAcids(birds_aaVLFconvert, birds_aminoAcids, 216)
birds_aaVLFreduced <- aa.VLF.reduced(birds_aminoAcidVLFs, birds_aminoAcid_specimenVLFcount, 216)
birds_aaSpecies <- separate(birds_aaVLFreduced)
birds_aminoAcid_singleAndShared <- aa.find.singles(birds_aaSpecies, 216)
