Skews generator

Skews from custom sequences

Compute GC-, AT-, KETO- and oligo-skews from a custom sequence. The input sequence is scanned with a sliding window and the requested parameter is calculated for each window, then plotted in a graph.

Description

Skews from custom sequences

To compute skews, the input sequence is scanned with a sliding window, and the requested parameter is calculate for each window. The data is shown in a graph.

G+C %

The porcentaje of G+C is computed

GC-skew

For each window, (G-C)/(G+C) is computed, where G and C are the number of ocurrences for each nucleotide

AT-skew

For each window, (A-T)/(A+T) is computed, where A and T are the number of ocurrences for each nucleotide.

KETO-skew

For each window, (G+C-A-T)/(G+C+A+T) is computed, where A, C, G and T are the number of ocurrences for each nucleotide.

Oligo-skew

For each window, frecuencies for all nucleotides with selected length is computed. Those frecuencies are compared to frecuencies obtained from the complete sequence. When comparing both frecuencies, global distance is computed, as described by Almeida et al. (2001).
