Predicting intramolecular triplexes (H-DNA)

Description

This function predicts H-DNA in 'x' (DNA). DNA can be provided in raw or fasta format or as GenBank accession number(s). Internet is needed to connect to GenBank database, if accession number(s) is given as argument.

Usage

hdna(x, xformat = "default")

Arguments

x

DNA sequence(s) in raw format or a fasta file or a GenBank accession number(s); from which H-DNA will be predicted. If the fasta file name does not contain an absolute path, the file name is relative to the current working directory.

xformat

a character string specifying the format of x : default (raw), fasta, GenBank (GenBank accession number(s)).

Details

This function predicts H-DNA in DNA sequences and provide the position, sequence and length of the predicted motif(s), if any.

Value

A dataframe of H-DNA' position, sequence and length. If more than one DNA sequence is provided as argument, an input ID is returned for motif(s) predicted from each input sequence.
