Here is my code
slidingwindowplotATGC = function(windowsize, inputseq) { starts = seq(1, length(inputseq)-windowsize, by = windowsize) n = length(starts) chunkGs = numeric(n) chunkAs = numeric(n) chunkTs = numeric(n) chunkCs = numeric(n) for (i in 1:n) { chunk = windowsize[starts[i]:(starts[i]+9999)] chunkG = sum("g" == chunk)/length(chunk) chunkA = sum("a" == chunk)/length(chunk) chunkT = sum("t" == chunk)/length(chunk) chunkC = sum("c" == chunk)/length(chunk) chunkGs[i] = chunkG chunkAs[i] = chunkA chunkTs[i] = chunkT chunkCs[i] = chunkC } plot(starts,chunkGs,type="b",ylim=c(min(min(chunkAs),min(chunkTs),min(chunkCs),min(chunkGs)),max(max(chunkAs),max(chunkTs),max(chunkCs),max(chunkGs))),col = "red") points(starts,chunkTs,col = "blue") points(starts,chunkAs,col = "green") points(starts,chunkCs) } Im getting the following error message, Error in seq.default(1, length(inputseq) - windowsize, by = windowsize) : wrong sign in 'by' argument which I never got before when running codes of this sort, infact I re ran old code that worked perfectly before, except this time Im getting this error message which doesn't seem to make any sense at all! I need help with this before I go completely insane... Maybe Im just bad at this program, but it seems to me that it has a mind of its own... I was also getting an error message before regarding the ylim function, stating that it needed to be a finite value, which is what I was giving it?
