Return the number of repeat units in which a deletion is embedded.
FindMaxRepeatDel(context, rep.unit.seq, pos)
A string that embeds rep.unit.seq
at position
pos
A substring of context
at pos
to pos + nchar(rep.unit.seq) - 1
, which is the repeat
unit sequence.
The position of rep.unit.seq
in context
.
The number of repeat units in which rep.unit.seq
is
embedded, not including
the input rep.unit.seq in the count.
For example FindMaxRepeatDel("xyaczt", "ac", 3)
returns 0.
If
substr(context, pos, pos + nchar(rep.unit.seq) - 1) != rep.unit.seq
then stop.
If this functions returns 0, then it is necessary to look for microhomology.
