SSES: Secondary Structure Elements Simple (SSES)

Description

This function works based on the output of PSIPRED which predicts the secondary structure of the amino acids in a sequence. The output of the PSIPRED is a tab-delimited file which contains the secondary structure in the third column. The function represent amino acids in the helix structure by 'H', amino acids in the extended structure by 'E', and amino acids in the coil structure by 'C'.

Usage

SSES(dirPath, outFormat = "mat", outputFileDist = "")

Arguments

dirPath

Path of the directory which contains all output files of PSIPRED. Each file belongs to a sequence.

outFormat

It can take two values: 'mat' (which stands for matrix) and 'txt'. The default value is 'mat'.

outputFileDist

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

Value

The output depends on the outFormat which can be either 'mat' or 'txt'. If outFormat is 'mat', the function returns a feature matrix for sequences with the same lengths such that the number of columns is equal to the length of the sequences 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.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
dir = tempdir()
ad<-paste0(dir,"/simpleSSE.txt")

Predss2dir<-system.file("testForder",package="ftrCOOL")
Predss2dir<-paste0(Predss2dir,"/ss2Dir/")
mat<-SSES(Predss2dir,outFormat="txt",outputFileDist=ad)

unlink("dir", recursive = TRUE)
# }
