Description Usage Arguments Value Note Author(s) References Examples
This function calculates pseudo-counts (as shown in Henikoff et al. (1996)) for an alignment with the use of substitution matrices. It is recommended to estimate amino acid frequencies for alignments with small number of sequences (in order to calculate reliable entropy scores)
1 |
alignment |
alignment loaded with |
substitution_mtx |
Matrix with amino acids substitution frequencies. Default: GONNET |
pseudoCounts |
Matrix with pseudo counts of size 21x number of alignment columns |
Please note that when using other scoring matrix user needs to make sure that all alignment symbols are present there. Missing symbol will issue an error.
