plotNucFreq: plotNucFreq: Plots the position wise relative nucleotide...

In seqTools: Analysis of nucleotide, sequence and quality content on fastq files

Description

The function creates plots on position wise relative nucleotide content single FASTQ files.

Usage

plotNucFreq(object, i, main, maxx, ...)

Arguments

object

Fastqq: Object which contains collected values from nFiles FASTQ files.

i	integer(optional): Index FASTQ file for which nucleotide frequencies are plotted.

main	integer(optional): The main title displayed on top of the plot. When missing, a standard text is printed.

maxx	integer(optional): Determines the maximum sequence position for which counts are plotted. Small values (e.g. 15) allow plotting the distribution on the first nucleotides at larger resolution (see reference).

...	Other arguments which are passed to the internally called plot function.

Value

None.
