extractVRegion: Extracts FWRs and CDRs from IMGT-gapped sequences

Description

extractVRegion extracts the framework and complementarity determining regions of the V-segment for IMGT-gapped immunoglobulin (Ig) nucleotide sequences according to the IMGT numbering scheme.

Usage

extractVRegion(sequences, region = c("FWR1", "CDR1", "FWR2", "CDR2", "FWR3"))

Arguments

sequences

character vector of IMGT-gapped nucleotide sequences.

region

string defining the region(s) of the V-segment to extract. May be a single region or multiple regions (as a vector) from c("FWR1", "CDR1", "FWR2", "CDR2" ,"FWR3"). By default, all regions will be returned.

Value

If only one region is specified in the region argument, a character vector of the extracted sub-sequences will be returned. If multiple regions are specified, then a character matrix will be returned with columns corresponding to the specified regions and a row for each entry in sequences.
