## determineTypeNumBasesAndTrDir (internal function)

### Description

For a given signature or genome representation: determine the type (Shiraishi or Alexandrov), the number of bases, and whether transcription-strand information is included.

### Usage

    determineTypeNumBasesAndTrDir(mutData)

### Arguments

`mutData` | The mutation frequency data of the signature or genome.

### Value

A list object composed of: "type"=type of signature or genome; "numBases"=number of bases of the sequence patterns; and "trDir"=logical value indicating whether transcription-strand information has been considered in the mutation frequency data.
