deltaGrules {DECIPHER} | R Documentation |
An 8D array with four adjacent base pairs of the probe and target sequences at a time. Each dimension has five elements defining the residue at that position ("A", "C", "G", "T", or "-"). The array contains the standard Gibbs free energy change of probe binding (dG, [kcal/mol]) for every quadruple base pairing.

The first four dimensions correspond to the four probe positions from 5' to 3'. The fifth to eighth dimensions correspond to the four positions from 5' to 3' of the target sequence.
