General Discussion / IC from PSAM
« on: May 24, 2019, 04:36:26 pm »
What does the information content (IC) from logos built from a PSAM matrix mean? how does this differ from IC inferred from a classic PSSM/PWM matrix?
Also, is there any information about how LogoGenerator calculate the IC in bits from the values in the PSAM? I assume it has to be very different from how it is calculated according to classic PWM right? (see link)
