RSCU: Relative Synonymous Codon Usage

Description

This function computes the relative frequency of each codon coding for an amino acid.

Usage

RSCU(sequence)

Value

RSCU returns the data frame with all indices.

Arguments

sequence

Input as a nucleic acid sequence of characters from fasta file.

Author

Dr. Anu Sharma, Dr. Sudhir Srivastava

Details

RSCU values are the number of times a particular codon is observed, relative to the number of times that the codon would be observed for a uniform synonymous codon usage.
