DiNUC2Binary_DNA: Dinucleotide To Binary DNA (DiNUC2Binary_DNA)

Description

This function transforms a dinucleotide to a binary number with four bits which is enough to represent all the possible types of dinucleotides. The type of the binary format is determined by the binaryType parameter. For details about each format, please refer to the description of the binaryType parameter.

Usage

DiNUC2Binary_DNA(
  seqs,
  binaryType = "numBin",
  outFormat = "mat",
  outputFileDist = "",
  label = c()
)

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.

binaryType

It can take any of the following values: ('strBin','logicBin','numBin'). 'strBin' (String binary): each dinucleotide is represented by a string containing 4 characters(0-1). For example, AA = "0000" AC="0001" ... TT="1111" 'logicBin' (logical value): Each dinucleotide is represented by a vector containing 4 logical entries. For example, AA = c(F,F,F,F) AC=c(F,F,F,T) ... TT=c(T,T,T,T) 'numBin' (numeric bin): Each dinucleotide is represented by a numeric (i.e., integer) vector containing 4 numeric entries. For example, AA = c(0,0,0,0) AC = c(0,0,0,1) ... TT = c(1,1,1,1)

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.

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).

Value

The output is different depending on the outFormat parameter ('mat' or 'txt'). If outFormat is set to 'mat', it returns a feature matrix for sequences with the same lengths. The number of rows is equal to the number of sequences and if binaryType is 'strBin', the number of columns is the (length of the sequences-1). Otherwise, it is equal to (length of the sequences-1)*4. If outFormat is 'txt', all binary values will be written to a tab-delimited file. Each line in the file shows the binary format of a sequence.

# NOT RUN {
LNCSeqsADR<-system.file("extdata/",package="ftrCOOL")
LNC50Nuc<-as.vector(read.csv(paste0(LNCSeqsADR,"/LNC50Nuc.csv"))[,2])
mat<-DiNUC2Binary_DNA(seqs = LNC50Nuc, binaryType="numBin",outFormat="mat")
