DPCP_DNA: Dinucleotide physicochemical properties (DPCP_DNA)

Description

This function replaces dinucleotides in a sequence with their physicochemical properties which is multiplied by normalized frequency of that di-nucleotide.

Usage

DPCP_DNA(
  seqs,
  selectedIdx = c("Rise", "Roll", "Shift", "Slide", "Tilt", "Twist"),
  threshold = 1,
  label = c(),
  outFormat = "mat",
  outputFileDist = ""
)

Arguments

seqs

is a FASTA file containing nucleotide sequences. The sequences start with '>'. Also, seqs could be a string vector. Each element of the vector is a nucleotide sequence.

selectedIdx

DPCP_DNA function works based on physicochemical properties. Users, select the properties by their ids or indexes in DI_DNA index file. The default value of this parameter is a vector with ("Rise", "Roll", "Shift", "Slide", "Tilt", "Twist") entries.

threshold

is a number between (0 , 1]. In selectedIdx, indices with a correlation higher than the threshold will be deleted. The default value is 1.

label

is an optional parameter. It is a vector whose length is equivalent to the number of sequences. It shows the class of each entry (i.e., sequence).

outFormat

(output format) can take two values: 'mat'(matrix) and 'txt'. The default value is 'mat'.

outputFileDist

shows the path and name of the 'txt' output file.

Value

The output depends on the outFormat parameter which can be either 'mat' or 'txt'. If outFormat is 'mat', the function returns a feature matrix for sequences with the same length such that the number of columns is (sequence length-1)*(number of selected di-nucleotide indexes) and the number of rows is equal to the number of sequences. If the outFormat is 'txt', the output is written to a tab-delimited file.

Details

There are 148 physicochemical indexes in the dinucleotide database.

# NOT RUN {
fileLNC<-system.file("extdata/Athaliana1.fa",package="ftrCOOL")
vect<-DPCP_DNA(seqs = fileLNC,outFormat="mat")
