SortByMutations {QSutils} | R Documentation

## Sort haplotypes by mutations and abundance

### Description

Sorts and renames haplotypes by the number of mutations with respect to the dominant haplotype, and by abundance.

### Usage

    SortByMutations(bseqs, nr)

### Arguments

`bseqs` | DNAStringSet or AAStringSet object with the haplotype alignment.
`nr` | Vector with the haplotype counts.

### Details

The haplotypes are pairwise-aligned to the dominant haplotype and then sorted: first, by decreasing order of the number of differences with respect to the dominant haplotype, and second, by decreasing order of abundance. As a result, haplotypes are renamed according to the pattern `Hpl.n.xxxx`, where `n` represents the number of differences, and `xxxx` the abundance order within the mutation number.

### Value

Returns a list with three elements.

`bseqs` | DNAStringSet or AAStringSet with the haplotype sequences.
`nr` | Vector of the haplotype counts.
`nm` | Vector of the number of differences of each haplotype with respect to the dominant haplotype.
