adapt.select: Function to select fragments according to the flanking...

In SimRAD: Simulations to Predict the Number of RAD and GBS Loci

Description

Given a vector of sequences representing DNA fragments digested by two restriction enzymes (RE1 and RE2), the function will return fragments flanked by either the same restriction size (E1-E1 fragments typically for RESTseq method) or different restriction sites (RE1 and RE2, for ezRAD and ddRAD methods).

Usage

adapt.select(sequences, type = "AB+BA", cut_site_5prime1, cut_site_3prime1, 
             cut_site_5prime2, cut_site_3prime2)

Arguments

sequences	a vector of DNA sequences representing DNA fragments after digestion by two restriction enzymes, typically the output of the insilico.digest function.
type	type of fragments to return. Options are "AA": fragments flanked by two restriction enzymes 1 sites, "AB+BA": the default, fragments flanked by two different restriction enzyme sites, "BB": fragments flanked by two restriction enzymes 2 sites. For flexibility, "AB" and "BA" options are also available and will return directional digested fragments but such fragments are of no use in current GBS methods as yet.
cut_site_5prime1	5 prime side (left side) of the recognized restriction site of the restriction enzyme 1.
cut_site_3prime1	3 prime side (right side) of the recognized restriction site of the restriction enzyme 1.
cut_site_5prime2	5 prime side (left side) of the recognized restriction site of the restriction enzyme 2.
cut_site_3prime2	3 prime side (right side) of the recognized restriction site of the restriction enzyme 2.

Details

This function will be generally needed when simulating double digest ddRAD methods where fragments flanked by two different restriction site are selected during library construction (type="AB+BA").

In addition, when simulating RESTseq method, type = "AA" can be used to exclude fragments that contained the restriction site of enzyme 2, as an alternative or in complement to subsequent DNA fragment exclusion by additional restriction site (see function exclude.seqsite).

Value

A vector of DNA fragment sequences.

Examples

# simulating some sequence:
simseq <-  sim.DNAseq(size=10000, GCfreq=0.433)

#Restriction Enzyme 1
#PstI
cs_5p1 <- "CTGCA"
cs_3p1 <- "G"

#Restriction Enzyme 2
#MseI
cs_5p2 <- "T"
cs_3p2 <- "TAA"

# double digestion:
simseq.dig <- insilico.digest(simseq, cs_5p1, cs_3p1, cs_5p2, cs_3p2, verbose=TRUE)
#selection of AB type fragments
simseq.selected <- adapt.select(simseq.dig, type="AB+BA", cs_5p1, cs_3p1, cs_5p2, cs_3p2)
# number of selected fragments:
length(simseq.selected)
