flowsRandom:
A function to compute the percentage of covered random sequences for a given number of flows.
Description
Evaluation of an exact expression to obtain the percentage of all random nucleotide sequences of a given length (n) that can be sequenced with semiconductor sequencing given a certain number of flows (k).
Usage
flowsRandom(k = 300, n = 150)
Arguments
k
Integer. Number of flows available during semiconductor sequencing.
n
Integer. Length of the random sequences to be sequenced.
Value
P
Percentage of sequences that are completely covered
Q
Percentage of sequences that are not completely covered
delta
1 - (P + Q), should be a small number when calculation is accurate
