positionInfoContent: Get median information content for a given position

Description Usage Arguments Value

Description

Get sequences that have no gap or X in position i, compute median information content accross all positions

Usage

1
positionInfoContent(position = 1, aln_mat, frq, small_sample_correction = F)

Arguments

position

alignment position of interest

aln_mat

alignment matrix generated from letterMatrix

frq

precomputed amino acid frequency in the proteome

small_sample_correction

TRUE if small sample correction is applied to information content calculation (not implemented currently, sift has it but doesn't use it)

Value

information content value between 0 (conserved) to log2(20) (least conserved)
