Calculates extinction coefficients

Description

Calculates the extinction coefficient for a DNA or RNA sequences using the nearest neighbor method. Also calculates the sum of all the extinction coefficients in the input vector. Nearest neighbor parameters are from:

Usage

calc.extcoeff(NucAcid, wavelength = 260, silent = F)

Arguments

NucAcid

A vector containing RNA or DNA sequences. Example "c("RNA", "ACCUUUCG", "CGAAAGGU")"

wavelength

The wavelength the data was collected at

silent

To print the extinction coefficient once it is calculated
