kebabs: package provides functionality for kernel based analysis of biological sequences via Support Vector Machine (SVM) based methods

Rahul Nayak — Fri, 04 Mar 2022 00:14:11 -0600

The kebabs package provides functionality for kernel based analysis of biological sequences via Support Vector Machine (SVM) based methods. Biological sequences include DNA, RNA, and amino acid (AA) sequences. Sequence kernels define similarity measures between sequences. The package implements some of the most important kernels for sequence analysis in a very flexible and efficient way and extends the standard position-independent functionality of these kernels in a novel way to take the position of patterns in the sequences into account for the similarity measure.
