Suppose I have a DNA sequence. I want to get the complement of it. I used the following code but I am not getting it. What am I doing wrong ?
s=readline()
ATCTCGGCGCGCATCGCGTACGCTACTAGC
p=unlist(strsplit(s,""))
h=rep("N",nchar(s))
unlist(lapply(p,function(d){
for b in (1:nchar(s)) {
if (p[b]=="A") h[b]="T"
if (p[b]=="T") h[b]="A"
if (p[b]=="G") h[b]="C"
if (p[b]=="C") h[b]="G"
}
If you do not want the complementary names, you can always strip them with
unname
.
