pid {Biostrings} | R Documentation |
Calculates the percent sequence identity for a pairwise sequence alignment.
pid(x, type="PID1")

one of percent sequence identity. One of |
Since there is no universal definition of percent sequence identity, the pid
function
calculates this statistic in the following types:
"PID1"
:100 * (identical positions) / (aligned positions + internal gap positions)
"PID2"
:100 * (identical positions) / (aligned positions)
"PID3"
:100 * (identical positions) / (length shorter sequence)
"PID4"
:100 * (identical positions) / (average length of the two sequences)
A numeric vector containing the specified sequence identity measures.
