R: Length of ORF

orfLength {microseq}

R Documentation

Length of ORF

Description

Computing the lengths of all ORFs in an orf.table.

Usage

orfLength(orf.tbl, aa = FALSE)

Arguments

`orf.tbl`	A `tibble` with the nine columns of the GFF-format (see `findOrfs`).
`aa`	Logical, length in amino acids instead of bases.

Details

Computes the length of an ORF in bases, including the stop codon. However, if aa = TRUE, then the length is in amino acids after translation. This aa-length is the base-length divided by 3 and minus 1, unless the ORF is truncated and lacks a stop codon.

Value

A vector of integers.
