asymmetryA2: FUNCTION to calculate karyotype asymmetry

Description

This function reads a data.frame with columns: shortArmSize and longArmSize and optionally OTU and returns a list with the A2 values for the OTUs

If several species present, use column "OTU". $$A_{2} = \frac{sCL}{xCL}$$

(s = std dev, CL = chr. length, x = mean)

related to: $$CV_{CL} = A_{2} * 100$$

(CV = coeff. var.)

Usage

asymmetryA2(dfChrSize)

Arguments

dfChrSize

name of data.frame

Value

list
