Exploring the Zika virus sequence
It's your turn to explore the Zika virus genome, which has been loaded in your workspace as zikaVirus
. The genome was downloaded from NCBI and you can apply Biostrings
functions to learn more about it.
Start by checking the alphabet of the sequence.
alphabet() # Shows the letters included in the sequence
alphabetFrequency() # Shows the counts per letter
Remember from the video that each alphabet corresponds to a specific biostring container, and each alphabet usually has extra code letters and symbols.
