Fraction of optimal codons (Fop) — get

get_fop calculates the fraction of optimal codons (Fop) of each CDS.

Usage

get_fop(cf, op = NULL, codon_table = get_codon_table(), ...)

Arguments

cf: matrix of codon frequencies as calculated by count_codons().
op: a character vector of optimal codons. Can be determined automatically by running est_optimal_codons.
codon_table: a table of genetic code derived from get_codon_table or create_codon_table.
...: other arguments passed to est_optimal_codons.

Value

a named vector of fop values.
