plotNucCount: plotNucCount: Plots nucleotide counts from Fastqq objects.

In seqTools: Analysis of nucleotide, sequence and quality content on fastq files.

Description

The function creates plots from nucleotide counts from Fastqq objects.

Usage

plotNucCount(object,nucs=16,maxx,...)

Arguments

object	Fastqq: Object which contains collected values from nFiles fastq files.
nucs	integer(optional): Index of nucleotides for which data is plotted. When value is missing, k-mer counts for all contained data is plotted.
maxx	integer(optional): When given, nucleotide counts are plotted for the first maxx nucleotide positions. This option is used for displaying detailed plots from the first read nucleotide positions (which are sometimes not equally distributed).
...	(currently unused).

Details

Values for i must be in {1,...,nFiles}. The nucs index encodes for IUPAC characters as shown in the following table.

1	A	|	6	R	|	11	M	|	16	N
2	C	|	7	Y	|	12	B	|	17	.
3	G	|	8	S	|	13	D	|	18	-
4	T	|	9	W	|	14	H	|	19	=
5	U	|	10	K	|	15	V	|	20	''

When count values for 'A' are to be plotted, 'nucs' must be =1. When count values for 'GC' are to be plotted, 'nucs' must be c(2,3).

Value

None.

Note

The static size of the retured k-mer array is 4^k.
