fastqKmerLocs: fastqKmerLocs function: Counts DNA k-mers position wise from...
In seqTools: Analysis of nucleotide, sequence and quality content on fastq files

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) References Examples

Reads (compressed) FASTQ files and counts for DNA k-mers for each position in sequence.

1	fastqKmerLocs(filenames, k=4)

filenames

Vector of FASTQ file names. Files can be gz compressed.

`k`	Length of counted DNA k-mers.

Maximal allowed value for k is 12.

list. The length of the list equals the number of given filenames. Contains for each given file a matrix with 4^k rows and (maxSeqLen - k + 1) columns (maxSeqLen= maximum read length). The matrix contains for each k-mer and k-mer-start position the counted values.

The static size of the retured k-mer array is 4^k.
