check_kmers: Check Validity of Set of _k_-mers

In transite: RNA-binding protein motif analysis

Description

Checks if the provided set of k-mers is valid. A valid set of k-mers is (1) non-empty, (2) contains either only hexamers or only heptamers, and (3) contains only characters from the RNA alphabet (A, C, G, U)

Usage

check_kmers(kmers)

Arguments

kmers

set of k-mers

Value

TRUE if set of k-mers is valid

Examples

# valid set
check_kmers(c("ACGCUC", "AAACCC", "UUUACA"))

# invalid set (contains hexamers and heptamers)
check_kmers(c("ACGCUC", "AAACCC", "UUUACAA"))
