Description Details Author(s) References See Also Examples

This package provides functions for the identification and visualization of potential intramolecular triplex (H-DNA) patterns in DNA sequences.

This package is essentially an R interface to the underlying C implementation of a dynamic-programming search startegy of the same name (Lexa et al., 2011). The main functionality of the original program was to detect the positions of subsequences in a much larger sequence capable of folding into an intramolecular triplex (H-DNA) made of as many cannonical nucleotide triplets as possible (see triplex.search). In creating its incarnation in R, we extended this basic functionality, to include the calculation of exact base-pairing in the triple helices, which allowed us to extend the functionality of the package towards visualization showing the exact base-pairing in 1D, 2D or 3D (see triplex.diagram and triplex.3D).
