freak

Function

Description

freak takes one or more sequences as input and a set of bases or residues to search for. It then calculates the frequency of these bases/residues in a window as it moves along the sequence. The frequency is output to a data file or (optionally) plotted.

The default set of bases is 'cg' which will calculate the frequency of 'G' + 'C' bases within the default moving window of 30 bases.
