_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     A simple R function to compute the GC content of a sequence

_U_s_a_g_e:

     gccontent(x)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: a vector of mode 'character' 

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     This a simple (and not particularly fast) function to compute the
     GC content of sequence. When speed is an issue, one should use the
     function in the package 'matchprobes'. This function only exists
     to avoid dependency on this package.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     The GC content ('numeric')
