AAbin: Amino Acid Sequences

Description

These functions help to create and manipulate AA sequences.

Usage

"print"(x, ...)
"["(x, i, j, drop = FALSE)
"as.character"(x, ...)
"labels"(object, ...)
"image"(x, what, col, bg = "white", xlab = "", ylab = "", show.labels = TRUE, cex.lab = 1, legend = TRUE, ...)
as.AAbin(x, ...) "as.AAbin"(x, ...)
"as.phyDat"(x, ...)
dist.aa(x, pairwise.deletion = FALSE, scaled = FALSE) AAsubst(x)

Arguments

x, object
an object of class "AAbin".
i, j
indices of the rows and/or columns to select or to drop. They may be numeric, logical, or character (in the same way than for standard R objects).
drop
logical; if TRUE, the returned object is of the lowest possible dimension.
what
a vector of characters specifying the amino acids to visualize. Currently, the only possible choice is to show the three categories hydrophobic, small, and hydrophilic.
col
a vector of colours. If missing, this is set to ``red'', ``yellow'' and ``blue''.
bg
the colour used for AA codes not among what (typically X and *).
xlab
the label for the x-axis; none by default.
ylab
Idem for the y-axis. Note that by default, the labels of the sequences are printed on the y-axis (see next option).
show.labels
a logical controlling whether the sequence labels are printed (TRUE by default).
cex.lab
a single numeric controlling the size of the sequence labels. Use cex.axis to control the size of the annotations on the x-axis.
legend
a logical controlling whether the legend is plotted (TRUE by default).
pairwise.deletion
a logical indicating whether to delete the sites with missing data in a pairwise way. The default is to delete the sites with at least one missing data for all sequences.
scaled
a logical value specifying whether to scale the number of AA differences by the sequence length.
...
further arguments to be passed to or from other methods.

Value

an object of class "AAbin", "character", "phyDat", "dist", or "numeric", depending on the function.

Details

These functions help to manipulate amino acid sequences of class "AAbin". These objects are stored in vectors, matrices, or lists which can be manipulated with the usual [ operator.

There are conversion functions to and from characters, and to "phyDat".

The function dist.aa computes the number of AA differences between each pair of sequences in a matrix; this can be scaled by the sequence length. See the function dist.ml in phangorn for evolutionary distances with AA sequences.

The function AAsubst returns the indices of the polymorphic sites (similar to seg.sites for DNA sequences; see examples below).
