straightenOperonSeq: Reverse Equalities in Genomic Context

This function processes the genomic context strings (GenContext) and reverses directional signs based on the presence of an equal sign ("=").

Usage

straightenOperonSeq(prot)

Arguments

prot

vector A vector of genomic context strings to be processed.

Value

vector A vector of the same length as the input, where each genomic element is annotated with either a forward ("->") or reverse ("<-") direction, depending on its position relative to the "=" symbols.

Examples

# Example input: Genomic context with directional symbols and an asterisk
genomic_context <- c("A", "B", "*", "C", "D", "=", "E", "F")
straightenOperonSeq(genomic_context)
#> [1] "A->" "B->" "*->" "C->" "D->" "="   "<-E" "<-F"

# Output: "A->", "B->", "*", "<-C", "<-D", "=", "E->", "F->"
