recombine_seqs: Recombines two sequences

In philliplab/yasss: Yet Another Short Sequence Simulator

Description

Given two sequence, pick a breakpoint and form a new sequence using the content to the LHS of the breakpoint of one sequence and the content to the RHS of the breakpoint in the other sequence.

Usage

recombine_seqs(target_seq, recombination_partner_seq, min_dist_to_edge = 5)

Arguments

target_seq	The sequence that will be replaced by the recombination
recombination_partner_seq	The recombination partner sequence
min_dist_to_edge	The closest that a recombination event can be to the start or end of either sequence.

Value

A list with the following elements:

• recombinant The recombined sequence

• recomb_muts The number of mutations that would have to be introduced into the target_seq to make it identical to the recombinant.

• recomb_replaced Was the portion of the target sequence that is to the right or left of the break point replaced?

• recomb_pos The location of the breakpoint
