shmulateSeq: Simulate mutations in a single sequence

Description

Generates random mutations in a sequence iteratively using a targeting model. Targeting probabilities at each position are updated after each iteration.

Usage

shmulateSeq(sequence, numMutations, targetingModel = HH_S5F)

Arguments

sequence

sequence string in which mutations are to be introduced. Accepted alphabet: {A, T, G, C, N, .}. Note that - is not accepted.

numMutations

number of mutations to be introduced into sequence.

targetingModel

5-mer TargetingModel object to be used for computing probabilities of mutations at each position. Defaults to HH_S5F.

Value

A string defining the mutated sequence.

Details

If the input sequence has a non-triplet overhang at the end, it will be trimmed to the last codon. For example, ATGCATGC will be trimmed to ATGCAT.

Mutations are not introduced to positions in the input sequence that contain . or N.

See Also

See shmulateTree for imposing mutations on a lineage tree. See HH_S5F and MK_RS5NF for predefined TargetingModel objects.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Define example input sequence
sequence <- "NGATCTGACGACACGGCCGTGTATTACTGTGCGAGAGATA.TTTA"

# Simulate using the default human 5-mer targeting model
shmulateSeq(sequence, numMutations=6)

# }
